A migratory spirit<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nBragin grew up in an affluent racially segregated suburb of Los Angeles. A queer mixed-race woman born to a Jewish father and a mother who immigrated from the Philippines, she often questioned where \u201chome\u201d was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have a migratory spirit,\u201d she said. \u201cI love to travel and I find myself in spaces where English is not the primary language spoken..\u202fI would actually say that what I carry with me is my home.\u202fWherever I am, I learn how to make\u202fhome\u202fwith those who I am connecting with in that space. But home is also, in some ways, something I leave behind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a dancer, Bragin added, movement is also her practice and the foundation for her art.\u202fIt is\u202fits own kind of migration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA lot of the work I\u2019ve done as an artist is about wondering and wandering,\u201d she said. \u201cI have this spirit in me that I call my unsettled wild spirit, who\u202fI\u2019ve\u202flearned to love. Sometimes being unsettled in that way can be very discombobulating because you\u202fdon\u2019t\u202ffeel super rooted, but\u202fI\u2019ve\u202flearned to embrace that feeling, utilize\u202fit as a superpower and channel it into my artistic expression.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much of Bragin\u2019s work around migration is grounded in the creative partnerships\u202fshe has\u202fformed with other local artists. In 2018, she launched Little Brown Language, a trans-disciplinary performance collaborative of leading local artists and organizers. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCollaborating artists took part in “wawoh!” \u2014a community ritual activation created for A Resting Place last April, which seeded the Grief Rituals project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA tidal wave of grief<\/strong>\u202f <\/h2>\n\n\n\nServing alongside her as a co-artistic director of the Grief Rituals project is Milvia Pacheco Salvatierra, a dancer and community organizer who works with Movimiento AfroLatino Seattle. 足彩app哪个是正规的 pair began performing together in 2019 and conversing around ideas of intercultural encounter, language loss and ancestral healing \u2014 Pacheco is Afro-Venezuelan \u2014 and questions about their homelands and cultural identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
足彩app哪个是正规的y began to look at migration through the 足彩app哪个是正规的 of grief in 2024, when they began partnering with Derek Dizon, founder and steward of A Resting Place, a grief and loss cultural resource center in the Chinatown International District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was moved by the way Derek created space for people to grieve collectively,\u201d she said. \u201cI got\u202fvery interested\u202fin thinking about migration through that framework of grief because it was such a powerful\u202fway to reflect on the hidden histories within our communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs I began to make those connections and apply them to my artistic process,\u201d she said, \u201cit was like my community of artists who were interested in entering the conversation with me suddenly grew.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
足彩app哪个是正规的n, in 2025, growing political rest contributed additional context to their exploration of grief and migration. Grief Rituals was created to address the theme of migration through collective experiences of grieving and healing from a place of community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGrief can\u2019t just be viewed as a private, individualized experience,\u201d Bragin said. \u201cBecause of the ongoing tidal wave of grief that we\u2019re experiencing in this political and cultural moment, I knew that it was important for me \u2014 as someone who connects my artistry to what is happening in the moment \u2014 to address grief as a practice that can bring people together and create solidarity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tLeft: Migration Story Station altar and mural installation by co-artistic director Milvia Pacheco Salvatierra, currently on view at ARTS at King Street Station.

A storytelling collection<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n足彩app哪个是正规的 Grief Rituals project is supported by funding from King County\u2019s 4Culture and\u202fcity of Seattle\u2019s Office of Arts & Culture initiative, \u201cWe Still Dream a Future.\u201d Community collaborators include Nia-Amina Minor, co-founder of Black Collectivity, Derek Dizon, members of Black Collectivity Nia Amina Minor, Akoiya Harris and marco farroni, poet Jasmin\u00e9 Smith, and artistic consultant Ellen Sebastian Chang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To launch the project, Little Brown Language created a pop-up installation called the Migration Story Station, which traveled to different community events in Seattle last fall. Visitors to the pop-up station were invited to share their migration stories to inform the artists\u2019 creation of a dance-activation that will be offered to the community as a free public event in the spring. 足彩app哪个是正规的 artists asked visitors to respond to two questions to prompt their thinking around migration and grief: \u201cWhat do you carry with you?\u201d and \u201cWhat do you leave behind?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mariyah Hicks, a sophomore Media & Communication Studies major at UW Bothell who is serving as a research assistant to the project, helps to collect and record these stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreatively, it\u2019s inspiring to watch people pour out their lives into one sheet of paper through words, symbols, shapes, mottos and more,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cI love the process of creating a path for people to properly heal from the past so that they can live in the future with peace of mind.\u202fAnd ultimately, once\u202ftheir stories are shared,\u202fthey\u2019re\u202fnot just disposed of but\u202fare\u202ftransformed into a new way of expression.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As her goal is to someday become a news anchor and to have her own talk show, Hicks said she found the opportunity to listen to different stories and perspectives especially valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis project helps me to open my eyes and realize that everyone has their own stories. Everyone is carrying something with them and having to leave behind something,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, as I narrow down my message that I want to share with the world, I want to keep that perspective in mind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nMariyah Hicks, sophomore Media & Communication Studies major<\/em> and project research assistant<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA shared space for healing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nThroughout the year, the Grief Rituals project will unfold through a series of community workshops, performances and opportunities for community sharing. 足彩app哪个是正规的 project will culminate Saturday, Oct. 3, with a processional migration from A Resting Place to King Street Station and on to Migration Stage, a sculptural installation created by artist Buster Simpson that faces the Seattle Ferry Terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are very much interested in adding our artistic expressions to conversations about the hidden histories of these specific locations in Seattle, and learning ways we can support transformative healing of our communities through art,\u201d Bragin said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s\u202freally an honor and a gift to be able to do this work. It’s challenging in many ways, yet I feel in this moment that this project gives us a place to pour our grief into this collective container,\u201d she said. “足彩app哪个是正规的re’s something about being invited to share our stories, to have them witnessed and reflected back to us, that allows for healing to happen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n“This project helps me to open my eyes and realize that everyone has their own stories.
