Through a nexus of video, monologue, music and ritual, Archipelago remixes ancient origin myths of Okinawa (Japan’s southern-most islands) and the American Southwest, situating them in contemporary times.  Hailing from mixed heritage identities – Uyehara is of Okinwan and Japanese lineage, Cooper-Teran a Chicano-Russian of Yaqui decent — Archipelago sheds light on issues of authenticity, appropriation and the recreation of myth for cultural survival.
