About this Performance

Co-curated by musician and artist SASAMI, GYOPO Diasporic Refractions: Symposium brings into conversation musicians, scholars, and performers who draw upon their chosen crafts and Korean heritage to examine, deconstruct, and alter systems of oppression. To reinvent, survive, and resist has been an intrinsic part of the Korean experience. Artist presentations and a round table discussion will engage different perspectives on being part of the Korean diaspora—of sitting on the fault-line of eastern and western history and consciousness while deeply entrenched in the rituals, principles, and histories of violence in both the eastern and western worlds. This symposium is part of GYOPO Diasporic Refractions, which explores Korean diasporic experience through various interdisciplinary arts.
