Description
Up to the Elephant, Down to the Dog is a performance and installation exploring the intergenerational impact of the Vietnam War through Professor Nam Kim’s family history and their migration under Operation New Life. Through a combination of spatial installation, voice recordings, and live performance, the work examines the nuances of what constitutes “home” and the enduring effects of displacement across generations. Special thanks to the UW–Madison Division of the Arts.
