Live at Eaton: "Talking Threads, Dancing Weave" by Abdi Karya

Embodying Live at Eaton’s focus on workshop as performance, Abdi Karya presents an interactive ritual centered on the traditional sarung. Working directly alongside domestic workers and audience members, Karya transforms everyday textile manipulation and shared physical tasks into a collective inquiry into migration, labor, indigenous knowledge, and cultural identity.

There will be a post-performance discussion with artist moderated by Cathleen Siming Pan (Curator, Mill6CHAT) on Nov 28 after the performance, discussion to be conducted in English.
