A woman in black traditional south Asian attire performs a graceful dance pose on a round concrete platform by the water, with railings and a pier in the background.

Yours, Tenderly

A site-specific lullaby honoring the resilience of immigrant mothers in San Francisco’s Tenderloin.

Choreographed and performed by Preethi Ramaprasad, “Yours, Tenderly” pays tribute to the untold South Asian histories embedded in the Tenderloin. Merging Bharatanatyam with site-responsive screendance, this film is a deeply personal ode to matrilineal strength, intergenerational care, and unyielding hope.
