Kay Huang
安 / GIRL UNDER
A multidisciplinary installation and performance exploring migration, political upheaval, and intergenerational memory through interwoven stories from Kay’s matriarchal lineage. The story takes place between 1935 and 1975, in Canton (Guangzhou), Hong Kong, and Vancouver, revealing how displacement shapes identity, memory, and fractured communities, while tracing paths of resilience and healing.
安 / GIRL UNDER will also be at Caton Sardine July 11, 12, 25, 26
Supported through the Artist-in-Residence program.
