Tethered Mountains
Project Poetry
avanzar montañas
conectamos
Tu y Yo, yo Y Tu.
imigran nosotros migramos
a la vez a la vez
cambio y atar
by Jasmine Dillavou
Curling, twisting, connected
Mountains.
Long ago—people crossed danger
People took risks
Seeking
Yearning
For gold, for profit, for hope
Hope hope hope.
Long ago—people crossed Mountains
Intertwined, overlapping rocks rivers, fields of hope.
Hope hope hope
Immigrate, transfer, move, SHIFT
Our stories connect
Curling, twisted, held together by hope.
Our home is a heaven. Safety/prosper/gold.
Long ago they came/today we stayed.
by Jasmine Dillavou and Suhyun Kaiden Cho
상큼한 어둠이
상큼한 바람이 머문다
어둠의 그늘을 벗어
시간이 회로를 돌리고
다가선 발 걸음 마다
물오른 나무마다
희망, 희망이 핀다
견딜 수 없는 음지 마다
그래도 살겠다고
이름 없는 들 풀조차도
희망, 희망이 핀다
안개가 머물다 간 곳에
이슬 머금은 세수를 하고
새 희망이 해 처 럼 미소를 진다
by Suhyun Kaiden Cho
Refreshing Darkness
(English translation)
The fresh wind tarries,
Drifting away from
Shade of darkness
Time turns like tornado,
With every step I take
Every tree that has risen
Hope, hope blooms
Every shade I can’t stand
I will still live
Even the nameless grass
Hope, hope blooms
Where the fog has gone
I wash my face with dew
With the new hope smiles
Blooming like the sun
3×3 Projects: Creative Collaborations from Isolation
Artists collaborate all the time, but not always from a distance. In our present reality of isolation, artists must find different avenues for the creation and presentation of work. With this in mind, the Fine Arts Center and Performing Arts at Colorado College invited artists of the Rocky Mountain West and American Southwest to pitch collaborative, multidisciplinary projects to premiere in the online world in the coming months.
