Celebrating the stories, voices and practices of artists with Asian heritage living in Australia

Threshold celebrates emerging and experimental voices in sound and music performance whose heritage arises from Asia or the Asian diaspora. This evening of performance showcases a labyrinth of mythologies, introspective films, spoken word practices, and the sonic amplifications of materials, such as rice and bamboo, that have been traditionally consumed or used in other contexts. Co-curated by Victoria Pham this program will position audiences to listen deeply to the diversity of sound practices, language and music of Asian-Australian composers and performers. We invite you to experience the work of artists and musicians, Gloria Demillo - poet and playwright, Flora Wong - violin, James Nguyen - filmmaker and artist, Nicholas Ng - erhu, Chloe Chung -dizi/flute plus Jiawei Zhu (dance) and Yanshen Huang (keyboard).
