ABOUT經 ANCESTRAL TONGUES is a multiverse research project recovering ancestral vocal memory using collaborative methodologies in archiving, transmodal scoring and collective performance. Holding space for the reparation of our fractured relationship with Chinese languages (“dialects”) within the space of 136 GOETHE LAB, the project manifests as experiments culminating in a set of embodied scores for a citizen choir and building mutuality around disappearing aural lineages.DISCUSSION-GATHERINGWhat is your relationship to dialect? If you identify with a dialect(s), what does it mean to you? Join artists, Su and Salty, for an intimate gathering, where visitors are invited to share thoughts and anecdotes on ancestral vocal memory, language, erasure, and identity, as well as any interesting dialect phrases, then participate in choral exercises with audio recording. This gathering will contribute to the beginnings of 經 ANCESTRAL TONGUES, with the hope of building interest and mutuality around our shared dialect histories. *You do not need to be able to speak or be fluent in dialects to attend.THE ARTISTSSalty Xi Jie Ng is an artist and educator co-creating semi-fictional paradigms for the real and imagined lives of humans within the poetics of the interdimensional intimate vernacular. Often playing with relational possibilities, her transdisciplinary practice proposes a collective re-imagining through humour, care, subversion, discomfort, institutional critique, a celebration of the eccentric, and a commitment to the deeply personal, in hopes of uncovering hidden selves and histories in kinship with the other-than-human. The work she has developed across cultures and contexts manifests as forms like performances, rituals, films, conversations, community-based collaborations, brief one-on-one encounters, co-created meals, and publications. Her practice is currently concerned with ancestry, eroticism, death, and ageing. She has an MFA in art and social practice from Portland State University.Suhui Hee is a multidisciplinary artist, composer and electronic musician working with sound, movement, performance and experimental scoring. Her recent research interests are in auscultations, the relationship between decomposition and composition, inhumanisms and the body as ecosphere. Her music under the moniker Anise is an entropic, cinematic blend of harsh glitchy beats cutting through delicate, shimmering vocals, field recordings, and chamber music blending the grotesque and beautiful. LOCATION136 Goethe Lab (left of the main entrance, access separate door along Bukit Pasoh Road)Goethe-Institut Singapore136 Neil RoadSingapore 088865
