Instructions for Our Love: Tongva | 'Eyoo'wiishmen 'Ahoo'echon
Instructions for Our Love: Tongva | 'Eyoo'wiishmen 'Ahoo'echon is a live vocal performance by Amber Stucke with Citlali Arvizu (Tongva/Diegueno) at Sage Hill. The performance is spoken in both English by Amber and Tongva by Citlali to a coast live oak tree. The native California live oak produces acorns, which are considered sacred to the Tongva community and are a staple in traditional meals. By honoring the coast live oak and with the Tongva language considered critically endangered, the instructions intend to reconnect the sound of the language back to the land.
Presented in conjunction with UCLA Art | Sci Center's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Atmosphere of Sound: Sonic Art in Times of Climate Disruption presented at CAP UCLA.
