    Performance

    Solo work for sung and spoken voice and movement Breath In This World will be presented on May 28 2026 at ZK/U Berlin at 7pm. This work was premiered at Indexical in Santa Cruz and has been presented at UC San Diego and will be presented at UrBANGUILD in Kyoto in July. The work is for spoken words, sung voice and body movement, with a membrane and a shape. "As I see the moon in the night's darkness, which receives the light from the sun, the earth changing the light's shape with the earth’s shadow, I think about light and darkness, lines and shapes, wounds and love, and humans’ eyes."

    Performance

    Through her listening and conversations with Ari, the Statue of Peace, Nataly Jung-Hwa Han of Museum der Trostfrauen, poetry book “A Cruelty Special to Our Species” by Emily Jungmin Yoon, and in her reflection of visiting The War and Women's Human Rights Museum in Seoul in 2025, Aine Nakamura will perform nearby Ari. The outdoor performance will be in reflection and a part of her practice of listening in relation to historical wounds and family wounds. This performance will be presented upon the Openhaus at ZK/U Berlin on May 21 2026 at 7:45pm.

    residency
    ZK/U Berlin (Center for Arts and Urbanistics)

    For the month of May, I will be in residency at ZK/U Berlin. The project focuses on “Conversations and Listening, Poetics and Politics of the Wounded Presence,” my listening to and nearby the Statue of Peace, Ari, who also resides at ZK/U. I will also present my recent performance work Breath In This World, through which I explore my recent art language, and reflect on my creative process, performance practice and score-making. I was initially pulled by ZK/U, the environment where formally trains gathered and departed with the historical context of war and violence, and where community and buildings are made newly and uniquely—I will engage in my practice and projects while attuning to the transborder potentialities of spaces, meetings, and conversations.

    Event
