It’s a cruel world. And it can be even more cruel to some people. This set exhibits the struggles and fights of marginalized people who are women, girls, or genderqueers. In this world, we are fetishized because of our race (Object of Desire) and our body parts become objectified to the extreme (Oink and Astonishing Little Feet). Yet, we still get up to continue our fight to tell our story of survival (In Living Memory), and to rebuild our own identity and relationships (JACKFRUIT). “Spectrum of Stories” asks us to reflect on the lives of the minority and their ability to persevere. – Jiyon Byun
[Object of Desire contains scenes and themes of sexual violence.]
For Mít, a gender fluid person, a life between two worlds is nothing new. Against the expectations of grandmother Roan and mother Mai, Mít is seeing Lara. But before Mít has the courage to separate from the family, Roan is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. For Mít, a part of the familiar world threatens to break away. If Roan forgets, then memories of the distant homeland of Vietnam also fade. Mít has to search for the connection between the two identities believed to be incompatible.
