Screening Event: Poetry + Video Works @ De-Canon Library

  • De-Canon Library @ Milepost 5 8155 NE Oregon St Portland OR (map)

SCREENING + TALK

A screening of new and in-progress video + poetry + music work(s), by Dao Strom and Roland Dahwen/Patuà Films and Stephanie Adams-Santos.

Plus we’ll have some space for light discussion on hybrid work, poetry, music, video processes.

“Traveler’s Ode” (by dao strom) is a sung-poem live music recording video, made with Roland Dahwen (director), Edward P. Davee (director of photography), and sidony o’neal (sound recordist). It is part of an ongoing hybrid forms + music-poetry + collaborative art project by Dao Strom that has received funding from a RACC Project Grant (2017) and the Creative Capital Artist Award Program (2016).

Three Moons/Tres Lunas/3つの月 is a two-channel video installation and altar, dedicated to, and made alongside, our elders. It revolves around three exquisite members of our community: Amanda García, Rikuku Heshiki, and Kazumi Heshiki. The project is a continuation of work that Roland Dahwen Wu & Stephanie Adams-Santos have been doing to share their ongoing work around poetry, memory, and honoring our elders.
