Directly confronting the experience of reorienting in a post-internment Canada, Kintsugi brings music into the imposed silence of trauma. At the installation, the audience can pump the foot treadle of the heirloom sewing-machine to reveal the hidden depth of the installation: a cycle of songs and videos weaving the past into the present. We’re also releasing this as an EP, beginning with “Chattels,” a song in which every lyric was taken directly  from archived documents listing our ancestor’s belongings that were taken from them during internment.
