Join us for a reading and talk by artist and poet Sho Yamagushiku.
The event accompanies his exhibition watch/a village/lose/their/forest, at FLUX Gallery until December 20.
Shō Yamagushiku writes from a world caught between empires with the intention of returning to the elemental. He currently lives on the home territories of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
"This exhibit is inspired by a dream. The dream begins with a mapmaker spiraling backward into an abyss. In the mapmaker’s wake, diaspora emerges from the forest. The work of the mapmaker falls as a shadow — a meditative and measured straitjacket, binding a world into being. The mapmaker’s memory repeats until it is a monocrop, a heaven stretching above, covering the land. I am here, just below the forest’s canopy amongst ten thousand leaves tangling in search of light. My words are trees, and each poem is a harvest."
