Living Memory/Living Absence is an exploration of memory and exile, and the pain of these experiences within the bodies of genocide survivors. In her multimedia work, Living Memory/Living Absence Cambodian American artist Anida Yoeu Esguerra traces her poetic fears of returning to her birth country after 25 years of absence. The joy she feels immersed in ancient Cambodian traditions clashes with the irreversible legacy of a genocide that lingers in the streets. Esguerra performs poetry with movement inspired by Butoh set against a video backdrop of the sites and sounds of her memories of Cambodia. The show is a journey through a landscape of fragmented old memories and an open ache for Home.
