SAM Performs: The Fabric of Your Being

Sat Jul 19 2025

2–4 pm

Seattle Asian Art Museum

Fuller Garden Court

Directed by Divya Rajan and presented by Pratidhwani, The Fabric of Your Being is a multi-textural, vibrant exploration of how stories of movement and migration are woven together to create unique and complex communities and experiences. Created out of a wide array of written works, including short stories, articles, and prose, The Fabric of Your Being offers a one-of-a-kind performance that begs audiences to reflect on deeper questions of self, community, and identity.

Fabric holds many meanings, literally and metaphorically!
Garments, accessories, sentimental heirlooms
Memories so sacred, and stories fondly nostalgic
Fabrics are known for being sturdy, hardy and resilient through time and use.
Fabrics are also known to be precious and delicate, needing to be preserved with utmost care.

Against the backdrop of all that is unfolding globally, why does the fabric of our being matter now, more than ever?
How do we preserve the threads of our cultural heritage?
What does it mean to keep alive our ancestral heir“looms”?
