FIELD MEETING
October 27th, 2014 New York City

Beatrice Glow’s lecture-performance spotlighted two projects: “Taparaco Myth” (2009), a two-year auto-ethnographic performance in Peru that retraced coolie geography and the usages of the word “chino, china,” across Central and South America while exploring rural Latin Asian/Americas’ fluid diasporic role in the western hemisphere; and “Chasing Blue Marlin”, which traversed the transpacific space that prehistorically links Asia to the Americas through the Austronesians that pioneered the Pacific over six millennia, as well as underwater biotic connections while thinking through colonial residues.
