During her month-long residency, Linh Le hosted a public performance ritual that incorporated collaborations with Austin artists Sir Beau Elliot and Andie Flores, collaborated on a “Becoming Species” riso-graph print with artist Laura M. Cañas P., led multiple mask making workshops as well as guided meditations exploring variations of screams and flying as part of Fusebox Festival, and actively volunteered and organized with the Austin Bat Refuge.
“Dance on top of a bus in the middle of a parking lot and scream for the survival of bats? Yes, anything can happen at MoHA. This is the place where dreams come true – thanks to a fully funded one-month of freedom to nurture wild ideas and a strong, inclusive and empathetic community to back up, in this case, my desires and longing for societal transformation, respect for bat species and planetary boundaries. I grew wings and made friends. MoHA and Austin Bat Refuge bring people together. Their leaderships are authentic and the genuine care for the community are inspiring and spreading around the world like a batnado.”-Linh Le
