Well aware of being separate from continents, we glorify this condition, looking upon the vast intervals of water as moats protecting delicate kingdoms. Reminded incessantly by the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean and by a sky of ferocious typhoons and unforgiving light, that there are more worlds than one, that land slopes under into a realm of reef, algae and leviathan as well as above. We acknowledge a tightly circumscribed existence on a terra that is not so firma, an acknowledgment that celebrates mortality. In death every human becomes an island floating in a primordial lake.” -Luis H. Francia
"Nica Aquino curated another show and it was cathartic. Y and I definitely teared up during the performance. Everyone had their own interpretation, but we saw a piece that told the story of the birth of Native peoples, colonization and imprisonment, separation of Native peoples and their homelands, trauma, then reunification and healing through community. I've never been hit with such a wave of emotion with a performance piece and I just want to thank Nica for the opportunity to experience that."
