AJAR IS XANH Fundraising Party
Sun 20 Aug 2017, 2 pm
Hanoi Rock City
From the organizer:
“[Blue] is the light that comes to us from afar [ajar], so places very high and very far appear to us as blue, too: places like distant cities or mountains or even the flat lip of a foggy horizon at sea. But that blue—that blue isn’t stored in those distant locations. And it isn’t stored in our eyes, either; we can’t carry it around with us, even if we buy thousands of tubes of cerulean. It’s in the distance between us and the place we observe.”

AND NOW I AM BLUE I AM BLUE I AM BLUE I AM XANH XANH AM I I AI AI XANH XAO
Ai Ai ai ai am SANG, the song of the broken birdfish
you are tempted to empty out your power to fill us with love and beauty
you are tempted to fill us, you are tempted to come to
