  waves takes us to the shore\nHome will arrive under our feet\n&mdash\;Wan
 g Ping\, The Great Summons\nIsaac Julien's Ten Thousand Waves is an immers
 ive\, nine-screen video installation that interweaves three stories linkin
 g China's ancient past and the present. The first story is inspired by the
  Morecambe Bay tragedy of 2004\, in which 23 Chinese immigrant workers wer
 e drowned while gathering cockles at the seashore in England. The second i
 s the Chinese legend of the ancient sea goddess Mazu\, protector of fisher
 men and sailors\, who is said to guide shipwrecked sailors safely to shore
 . The third is set in 1930s Shanghai and explores the 1934 silent film The
  Goddess (1934)\, one of the best known films of China's cinematic golden 
 age\, which portrays the tragic life of a woman who became a prostitute in
  order to support herself and her son. Shot mostly in China\, Ten Thousand
  Waves features well-known actresses Maggie Cheung and Zhao Tao\, video ar
 tist Yang Fudong\, poet Wang Ping\, and venerable Chinese calligrapher Gon
 g Fagen.\nWith rich imagery that soars between the cold northwest coast of
  England\, the buzzing rush hour of Shanghai\, and the lush landscape of b
 amboo forest and stony mountains\, Ten Thousand Waves represents a new for
 m of filmic storytelling\, as the three stories unfold across multiple scr
 eens\n\nStart time: Tuesday and Wednesday\, 10 am&ndash\;5 pm\nThursday an
