Seo Choi’s work Budoji: A Tale of the Divine City of Ancient Korea is the first English translation and publication of the text originally written by a loyal Silla official named Jesang Park (363-419 CE). Budoji contains the culture and early beliefs of Ancient Joseon, which include stories about the creation of the world as well as the origins, the evolution, and the migratory movements of the Korean people. Since ancient times, humans have felt a sense of awe and reverence towards supernatural powers. In the era Budoji describes, this was expressed in the worship of the sky through offerings and rituals called jesa (薯餌). Seo reviewed interpretations of the story of the creation of the universe and humanity by the Goddess Mago, and was joined by artist Meesha Goldberg, who shared her creative process of making the paintings included in Budoji. Together, Seo and Meesha facilitated a creative exercise for attendees.
