Burning Threads - Caroline Lam

Burning Threads creates a dialogue between memories of exile, the heritage of Catholic colonialism with the figures of the Saints - Agnes of Rome and Agnes of Vietnam - and Vietnamese spiritualities with the goddess Mẹ Mẫu. The piece questions what is passed down from one generation to the next and the tensions accompanying every migratory history: preserving one's heritage while seeking to integrate. Carried by the women of her lineage, it celebrates their strength of transmission and resilience.
