**Poetry Reading | Primordial: Poems of Collective Trauma**

Mai Der Vang’s poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. The saola looks like an antelope, with two long horns, and is related to wild cattle, though the saola has been placed in a genus of its own. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. Primordial examines the saola’s relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang’s poems are urgent stays against extinction.

Concert | Dancers, Actors, and Musicians in a Multi-Genre Immersive Concert

Dancers, actors, and musicians from The Juilliard Green Club are thrilled to take the stage to present a multi-genre, immersive concert experience. They ask the audience to consider our collective futures in the face of climate change amidst differences in background, class, resources, and geographical location. Artists have always looked either to the past or forward to an unknown future, often attempting to predict what awaits all of us with the knowledge that they have in their time. This need to consider our place and agency within a larger context is one artists always struggle with; but today, it is something we all struggle with, as the choices necessary to guarantee a safe future are not in our hands. We will consider art that seeks out the past, present, and future of our Earth to answer the following question: how have artists considered their futures in the past, and what can we learn from them in imagining our own future?
