blueoyster.org.nzThe calm wind shapes the boat, a digital project with Susu
We are pleased to announce the launch of The calm wind shapes the boat, an online project from Susu which will be live on the Blue Oyster website from Friday, October 25 to Sunday, November 24.
The calm wind shapes the boat is a digital artwork informed by Susu’s recent experiences of taking multiple trips between Aotearoa and Taiwan. Collecting materials each time, for Susu these recurring arrivals and departures hold passages between legal, cultural and personal constructs of gender, and senses of homesickness, belonging and familial memories. Composed of moving image, notes, text and animation, The calm wind shapes the boat also features a written response between Susu and poet Joanna Cho formed around an ongoing correspondence.
Please join us at Samoa House Library in Tāmaki Makaurau on Friday, October 25 from 5pm for a one night only collective viewing of the artwork, including a conversation with Susu, Joanna Cho and Blue Oyster director Simon Palenski. Refreshments provided by the Lebanese Grocer.
