MALI’E’

‘what has been seen’ • ourstory • past, present, future

a creative research vessel for ongoing knowledge development, MALI'E' takes form through

|| embodiment || film || dance || exhibition || installation || outdoor ceremonial activation || performance || online events ||

| and yet to be known potential

 

MALI’E’ explores new forms of Matao/CHamoru creativity inspired by ancestral technology of Mali’e’.

Now-a-days called kåntan chamorrita, historically called Mali’e’, the art form serves to reveal & record ‘what has been seen’ by the people. Embodied musicality takes shape as oral history and prophecy converge.
