Fringe Festival | Existing on Two Planes by Pasifik Storytellers Collective (2020)
EXISTING ON TWO PLANES
Omens, portents and messages from the other side. Stories of dreams, ancestral spirit visitors and the messages we receive daily as we walk through life. They are often warnings or telling of family events or suffering. A portent of death or of future birth. A warning of impending pain or a harbinger of future happiness.The show offers unique contemporary First Nations and Pacific art and includes sculpture, print, weaving, digital multimedia and floral installation.

As part of the 2020 Fringe Festival, the Pasifik Storytellers Collective invited 10 artists to collaborate in an online gathering, exploring the theme of "Existing on Two Planes." This virtual event featured live storytelling, including a powerful video contribution by our sisters, Alejandra Marin Oyarce and Maria Jose Herrera.
"The Snake" is both a poem and an omen, rising from deep within our bodies. The mother serpent returns to remind us of who we are and why we are here. To her, nothing is hidden; everything is connected. Yet our humanity blinds us to the true nature of our souls. This is a call to return. She is summoning us back.
