Our mothers, our waters, our peace by Korean American artist Gyun Hur reflects upon the Atlanta Asian community’s resilience and love. Created in response to the escalation of Asian hate crimes during the pandemic, followed by the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings, Hur’s project explores grief by inviting communities to reflect on their immigrant experience and offering a way for them to heal.

A music score by Hahn Rowe accompanies the installation.

Last year, Hur began installing glass vessels within public and private spaces amongst Asian American communities. Holding local river or creek water, a total of 100 dispersed glass sculptures have served to seed conversations around intergenerational work and healing. Hur will recollect these vessels to create a communal site of reflection, gathering, and connection at Goat Farm. In the spirit of remembrance, lamentation, and celebration, “Our mothers, our waters, our peace” will remain on view for two weeks and offer performances, workshops, and artist talks – all free to the public.

Our mothers, our waters, our peace, Gyun Hur’s immersive installation of more than 125 handblown, tear-shaped glass vessels, opens at the Goat Farm on Saturday, March 15 and showing until Sunday, March 30.
