Nothing Here Is Entirely Foreign
June 6th, 2025 at Oracle Egg
Creation, Installation and Performance by Chantael Takeuchi and Sharon Chohi Kim
Nothing Here is Entirely Foreign is a performance of ceremony, movement and sound centered on the persimmon. Drawing from matrilineal stories and inherited gestures, the piece traces the quiet transmissions of culture through food, language, and care. Rooted in Korean and Japanese familial histories, it explores how ancestral memory lives in the body, what ripens across generations, and the sensual, corporeal rituals of everyday life. The performance weaves personal and collective memory, offering a tender meditation on diaspora, intimacy, and the sensory imprint of love passed down.
