School of Art Monday Lecture Series | Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊

Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊 will speak on •~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~•, a recent solo exhibition at Tramway, Glasgow, and on world-making as a long-term, sustaining practice - one that allows ways of making to grow, stretch, search, and regenerate. Drawing from diasporic experience, ancestral storytelling, and Daoist and ecological thought, Song considers how resilience emerges through imagining alternative forms of kinship and rehearsing ways of being with human and more-than-human others, towards more hopeful, shared futures.

About Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊

Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊 is an artist flowing with the immigrant experience of flux and resilience, hungry to ever-evolve and build things. Guided by Daoist ways of worlding, Song considers family as a hybrid organism, radically entwined with all other living things – continuously swirling in multi- space and time. Song masticates their vibrating qi, and grows a big belly to hold all of this entangled ancestry… plop plop plop… warm excretions of other life stories to be sewn, watered and sung.
