The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Grafting Rooting Growing

Written and Performed by Leah Ai Ling Woehr

Grafting, Rooting, Growing is an autoethnographic solo performance that explores Chinese transnational adoption and Chinese-American identity. In this piece, I interweave family stories, music, and personal reflection as I work through understanding how my daughterhood was performed into being and how this affects my sense of self.
