Backbone: a collaboration with RAWdance

From RAWdance:

RAWdance’s Katerina Wong joined forces with Bay Area-based sculpture, installation, and social practice artist, Sawyer Rose, for her most recent exhibit, Counting the Hours.

Counting the Hours shines a light on the systemic and pervasive inequalities that working women face, including the physical, emotional, and practical effects of these disproportionate labor loads. Rose uses a unique combination of art and science to communicate her findings about women’s work. Her large-scale installation sculptures in Counting the Hours are built using real-life work data collected from female-identifying workers from all walks of life and from across the U.S.

Wong collaborated with Rose to create on a companion dance work inspired by Rose’s subjects, process, and visual artworks, which was performed amongst her sculptures at the exhibit’s opening reception at Code and Canvas in San Francisco.

The Weight of Your World: a collaboration with RAWdance

From RAWdance:

Collaboration is the heart of our work, and we wanted to keep it up despite social distancing. Co-AD Katie Wong reconnected with sculptor and social practice artist K. Sawyer Rose to develop this at-home short film with dancer Stacey Yuen, inspired by Sawyer's past work "The Weight of Your World". Carrying and balancing all of our paid and unpaid labor from home couldn't resonate more right now.
