Between Breaths: A Sonic Memoir with gamin
7 – 8:30PM
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Fridman Gallery present Crossing Boundaries 24: Between Breaths: A Sonic Memoir with gamin, an intimate multimedia performance by Korean-born, U.S.-based musician gamin, a multi-instrumentalist and designated Yisuja (official holder of Korea’s Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46). In this work, gamin invites audiences into a sonic memoir woven from breath, memory, and ancestral voice.
“Her music is unlike anything else in the world.” — New York Music Daily
Elizabeth Hoffman (Sound Design & Electronics), Christine Yerie Lee (Visual Art), Jacqueline Kerrod (harp), and Satoshi Takeishi (percussion) round out the creative team.
The concert will take place on December 3, 2025 at 7 pm at Fridman Gallery. Tickets are $27.74 and are available online.
Created by gamin, Between Breaths is a meditation on lineage, transformation, and transcendence—where tradition is reimagined through feminist and intercultural lenses, and breath becomes memory, ritual, resistance, and future. Drawing on her monograph of family history and cultural heritage, she brings to life the stories of her foremothers through the sounds of traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri, saenghwang, and taepyeongso—blurring the lines between ritual and recital. Through improvisation and Korean modes, each breath becomes a vessel of resilience, migration, and belonging.
