Experience ARKAI's In Radiance This Saturday, October 23, @ MOCA
MOCA cordially invites you to visit the Museum
on Saturday,
October 23, to experience a live performance of In Radiance by ARKAI
at 3:00 PM EDT, commissioned for our special exhibition Responses:
Asian American Voices Resisting the Tides of Racism.
In Radiance
Notes from Philip Sheegog and Jonathan Miron of ARKAI
In light of the recent rise in AAPI hate crimes, we sought to write a piece that would bring solace and healing into the world.
The piece is structured in three parts, opening with a scene of isolation, emptiness, and confusion. It questions the tragic violence and yearns for belonging.
The second section transforms in a resurgence of spirit and steadfast resolve to be. We rediscover the motions and emotions of daily life—enduring resilience, jubilant dances, and proud dignity.
The third section emerges with a newfound radiance, illuminated through communal healing and understanding. There is collective care, hope, and an assurance that everything will be all right.
This musical cycle is a representation of life’s journey in its many forms. Through every challenge, what sustains our humanity is the love and compassion that we give to each other.
