The Vision Festival, an annual internationally-acclaimed festival in New York City, celebrates Black multicultural improvised creative arts. It showcases experimental music, dance, poetry, and visual arts with a strong emphasis on improvisation. Jen Shyu presents an in-progress edition of her epic project {Fertile Land, Fertile Body}, a multilingual ritual opera comprising ancient and original music, dance, and projection, exploring the loss of mother, loss of motherhood, and human-caused environmental toxicity and genocide’s effects on climate change and our fertility.
