guests-in-residence at Unit One/Allen Hall 4/6-4/10. 

Their opening program is Sunday, April 6 at 8pm in the Main Lounge of Allen
Hall, 1005 W. Gregory, Urbana. They will be performing, conducting workshops,
and leading discussions every evening of their residency. All programs are open
to the public. See our website: www.housing.uiuc.edu/living/unit1 or call
333-8351 for more information. Their visit is culminating in a performance at
Krannert Center as part of the What's the Word festival of spoken word
performances.

I Was Born With Two Tongues uses the medium of spoken word combined with music
and song to explore the intersections between art and activism, the personal
and political, to unearth the rich histories of Asian people in America, and
participate in the construction of the Asian American identity. The Tongues
have performed across the country, including appearances at the University of
Chicago, Northwestern University, the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Museum
of Contemporary Art's Summer Solstice. They have presented workshops for
Amnesty International's annual youth conference, and have written and produced
a chapbook, Word, and a CD, Broken Speak.
