<description>The closing of ‘Songs of Emerging Endangerment’ featured a dynamic panel conversation with scholars and artists who study the histories and cultures of the Asian Pacific diaspora.

‘Songs of Emerging Endangerment’ is an installation by TJ Shin  an artist born in South Korea who now lives in Los Angeles. TJ explores how power shapes our lives and experiences, using sound and sculpture to explore their ideas.

This installation emits sound from an air raid siren, a tool once used across LA to warn the city about incoming danger. Every hour, it plays recordings of people imitating the calls of birds that migrate through the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, a path that crosses East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

The participants in the project are people with connections to the regions where these birds live and travel. LA County is home to 1.5 million people with roots in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Sharing imitated birdcalls through this siren is a way to invite listeners—like you!—to reflect on movement, memories, and meaning across time and distances.
