The performance From This Blanket was part of the program Calling Back, Calling Forward, organized in response to themes in Marie Watt’s work at Print Center New York.

In this collaborative performance, inspired by Marie Watt’s sculpture Blanket Stories: Great Grandmother, Pandemic, Daybreak (2021), Kyoung Eun Kang and Sooim Lee explored cultural heritage, memory, and both individual and collective experiences. Kang and Lee—participants in the curatorial project The Faraway Nearby—used pitch, breath, movement, and silence to weave a narrative resonating with themes of family, care, and resilience. The performance was organized by Jiyeon Paik.
