"The US is an insanely affluent country that almost erased the memories of its own immigrant cultural roots, as well as memories of the land before immigration. Because of that, this artwork, here in Minneapolis, speaks about reconnecting with memories to change attitudes and policies toward current immigrant flows." Zoe Cinel, an Italian artist and MCAD graduate student, discusses her performance within Carey Young's 2013 artwork Declared Void II.
