My name is Szu-Han Ho, and I am a Taiwanese-American artist and faculty member at the University of New Mexico. This fall, I will be visiting UNC Chapel Hill in September for a project organized by Jina Valentine, Asst Professor in the Art Department. I am writing because, if possible, I would like to distribute an open call to the UNC TSA (included below). I am looking for Mandarin Chinese readers to participate in a performance on Thursday, September 12th in Gerrald Hall that will be part of a book launch for the 2013 series published by
Future Plan and Program. I have received a lot of positive responses from Mainland Chinese students and am looking for a bit of linguistic diversity--students from Taiwan, Hong Kong, or other countries who speak and read Mandarin Chinese. If you would be willing to distribute the call to members of your organization, I would greatly appreciate it!
