Description

dohee lee (she/her) is a Performance Artist, Ritualist, and Educator from Jeju Island South Korea.  Since her arrival in the USA, she has been a vital contributor to both the traditional and contemporary arts landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.  Her creative and award-winning vision comes from traditional Korean music, singing, drumming and dance, which is rooted in Korean indigenous ritual. dohee invites the CSUSM campus community to join in on a Korean ritual from Jeju Island called “The Ritual of Sickness” (Chilseong Saenamgut-칠성새남굿). dohee lee will explore this ritual as a contemporary performance and communal process where the aim is to remove white supremacy culture and to call in vital spirits (Chilseong-칠성신 **) back to humanity and land. It is an outdoor participatory land acknowledgment which includes audience members’ ancestries. It will then move indoors where dohee facilitates the creation of a collective altar. “Chilseong Saenamgut-칠성새남굿” is a dedication to the struggling earth and marginalized communities most vulnerable to environmental racism, and an invitation for us all to confront and heal from our own internalized racism.
