Overview
Join us Thursday, July 17 at 6:30pm for a free Poolside Performance featuring IS/LAND!
As part of our Poolside Performance series, experience a powerful evening of experimental sound, movement, and mark-making with IS/LAND, an interdisciplinary AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Performance Collaborative. This immersive performance explores the intersections of poetry, embodied movement, and sound, culminating in excerpts from their forthcoming full-length memorial work, Until We Fill the Ocean—a tribute to the stories and poetry of detainees at Angel Island Immigration Station (1910–1940) in Tiburon, California.
IS/LAND’s work centers AAPI storytelling and lived experience, inviting audiences into a space of reflection, remembrance, and dialogue. Through interdisciplinary performance, they explore identity, migration, and collective memory with deep emotional and visual impact.
This event is free and open to all! Come early to see our summer exhibition, "Eventually Everything Connects: Mid-Century Modern Design in the US." Performance will be held rain or shine.
