About this Event

Idioms of Distress – Closing Exhibition

Featuring: A Journey Home: ដំណើរនិរទេស
By Khmer Urban, directed by Peter Veth & Chummeng Soun
Saturday Oct 25th, 2025 4pm-6pm
AS220 Aborn Gallery, Providence, RI

A Journey Home tells a deeply moving story of separation, intergenerational trauma, and the will to survive as families are torn apart through deportation. Drawing from lived experiences and ancestral memory, the production reflects on the fractures caused by forced displacement while also illuminating the resilience that binds families together across borders.

At the heart of the performance is a celebration of beauty found in transitional art forms—where Khmer classical traditions meet contemporary expressions to create a language of healing, remembrance, and resistance. Through dance, gesture, and collective storytelling, the piece invites audiences to reflect on what it means to lose home, to rebuild it, and to carry cultural identity forward against the forces of erasure.
