轴/軸/Axis
Shana Wolfe
Project Description
This piece is about “home”. It’s a brief telling of our bodies’ histories on this land and lands we long for. Allowing comfort and discomfort within us to navigate our lives, without ruling us. Noticing it’s there. Through movement, words, and each other we can be representations of the fragments of our homes.
