My Blood Sings Old Songs gathers together artists who capture what is not said—but deeply felt. The works in this exhibition project resonate over time, unravelling layers of choreography, the body, and the quiet weight of being seen.
Hovering on the threshold between a final scene and a beginning sequence, each gesture holds the knowledge that some memories cannot be fully shared with those who were never present, and that trying to convey a powerful memory to people who don’t share the same connection with a person, place, or story is almost always fragmented. What ties us together are our cross-cultural connections that ripple through the fabric of our cultural differences and shared strengths.
Through new commissions and existing works, the artists honour the echoes and shadows of ceremony and legacy, knowing that each story we carry only lives completely in our bloodlines—though we can feel the vibrations between each other as our blood sings.
