ABOUT RBH.LINH
Artist, live performer, and producer Linh Luu’s works stretch through a wide range of projects that all incorporate her personal experiences and research into her heritage and identity. Drawing inspiration from the experiences she has gone through due to the intersectionality she finds herself in, being a queer female artist of Vietnamese-Chinese heritage growing up in the West.
With her project ‘rbf.linh’, she plays- and produces dark and unpolished dance floor sounds as a loud protest against Asian (female) stereotypes. Expect a journey through experimental, danceable, fast paced drums and broken beats selected and played with a neuroqueer mind.
ABOUT BURUN DANGA
Burun Danga (Đăng-Vũ Đặng) will play an all Vietnamese set including field recordings and personal sound pieces during the opening of 'along along'.
Burun Danga started mixing music when a good friend gave him a mixer during the first lock down in 2020 which eventually led to his first gig at The Observatory in Saigon during a recent trip to Vietnam. Visits to Vietnam triggered a low key obsession with Vietnamese music and a rediscovery and re-appreciation of the music his family listened to while growing up in the Netherlands.
For this year’s Hamburger Community residency, Ratri Notosudirdjo presents a series of street performances, handwritten poetry and installations that encapsulate the world of collision, where unfamiliar landscapes are fabulated from the un-uniform collective body. The landscape explored pulls apart narrative identity, focusing on narratives in relation to diaspora and migration, and is inspired by the close realities of second and third generation immigrants in her family, friends and co-workers. These nonlinear performances and poetic storytelling come from the space of tension that emerges from code-switching and absorbing multifaceted cultural realities. The landscape created by the collection of works in along along, generates ways to imagine how this can uniquely shape the subconscious plain.
The material focus of along along is on embroidered masks, large fabric works, shadow puppetry, soundscapes and choreography. Surrealism and invented symbolism are poignant in each performance and take inspiration from her Indonesian heritage. Some of the direct themes explored within diaspora and migrative narrative are a) the collision of family hierarchy and roles between different cultural structures, b) the tension of integrating from the home life into the public sphere and c) the destruction that occurs when trying to negotiate between one’s cultural, poetic and spiritual identity.
