The Odd Volume - Remixed

The Odd Volume – Remixed is a 6 minute companion video to Ziyian Kwan’s full-length autobiographical solo – captured at locations where life events happened in 1970’s Vancouver. Vignettes both poignant and bold, consider tensions of displacement and cultural assimilation. Central to the piece are questions around Ziyian’s immigrant experience as a first generation person of colour: what does it mean to know that one will never arrive, yet always yearn to belong? Leaning into the poetic dissonance of vulnerability, the work unsilences The Odd Volume of one womxn’s identity and maps a road to healing.
