GYOPO Diasporic Refractions: Performances offered an immersive experience where honoring historical resilience manifests new possibilities for collective agency and dissent. Diasporic Korean artists and performers Ariel Osterweis, Sharon Chohi Kim, Hwa Records, and Young Sun Han ignite resistance from the spaces between memory and manifestation, navigating the nuanced terrains of cultural memory, generational healing, and community building. Through movement, sound, and bodily presence, diasporic identity is performed as a site of struggle and liberation—a living archive that refracts through embodied practice. This afternoon of performances invited audiences to witness how the active transformation of cultural memory through artistic interventions can result in a return to deeply ancient ritual, one that demands collective imagining and the building of liberatory futures. This performance series was part of GYOPO Diasporic Refractions: Installations, Symposium, Performances, a programmatic collaboration between GYOPO and LA Phil Insight.
