“The story is older than my body, my mother’s, my grandmother’s. For years we have been passing it on so that it may live, shift, and circulate. So that it may become larger than its proper measure, always larger than its own in-significance.” - Trinh T. Minh-ha
'bumalik,' the Tagalog word for 'return,’ is a performance installation series of dynamic bamboo that centers the profound power of imagined memories as the gateway to returning home. The work, revolving around our sculpture ‘sirkulo,’ re-imagines the relationship between the brown Asian body and environment as sites of trauma, reorientation, then liberating transmutation. Our transformation of ‘sirkulo’ explores the disorientation and reorientation of the peripheral Filipina, shaped by geographical migrant stories of our mothers and our psychological migrations out of and into ourselves.
