In this second of a two-part series, Sophia chats with poet Monica Korde, whose collaborative installation with watercolor artist Hargun Maan is featured in a special exhibition at Kitsune Community Art Studio and Gallery in Half Moon Bay, California, through June 7, 2026.

The installation is a scroll-form depiction of a poem, flowing from wall to tabletop and landing on a table with ordinary objects including moong beans, dried chili peppers, and a pen. Monica recites the poem live – and it stops you in your tracks.

Kitsune founder and owner, Na Omi Shintani, joins Monica and Sophia to discuss the work and how it fits into the exhibition featured at her gallery during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
