CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Fridman Gallery presents "Between Breaths: A Sonic Memoir" with gamin, a multimedia performance of myth, music, and memory.
Between Breaths is an intimate multimedia performance by Korean-born, U.S.-based musician gamin, a multi-instrumentalist and designated Yisuja (official holder of Korea’s Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46). In this work, gamin invites audiences into a sonic memoir woven from breath, memory, and ancestral voice. Drawing on her monograph of family history and cultural heritage, she brings to life the stories of her foremothers through the sounds of traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri, saenghwang, and taepyeongso—blurring the lines between ritual and recital. Through improvisation and Korean modes, each breath becomes a vessel of resilience, migration, and belonging. Between Breaths, created by gamin, is a meditation on lineage, transformation, and transcendence—where tradition is reimagined through feminist and intercultural lenses, and breath becomes memory, ritual, resistance, and future.
