Spotlight Sundays: Land as Body—A Community Ritual with Puri Arts

Spotlight Sundays: Land as Body—A Community Ritual with Puri Arts

About

This Spotlight Sundays, we are excited to welcome back Dohee Lee and Puri Arts with their project Land as Body: Belonging, a powerful community ritual that interweaves ceremony, storytelling, and drumming. This spirited offering provides a ceremonial bridge for healing between ancestors and the people of all lands that have endured ruptures due to deportation, incarceration, and all forms of colonial violence.

In collaboration with Asian Refugees United-Connect-Reflect-Enact (ARU-CRE) and Asian Prisoner Support Committee (APSC)  (including members inside and out of San Quentin Prison), Land as Body cultivates a collective of immigrants, refugees, and settlers on the Indigenous lands of Turtle Island where they live and belong. Please join us for this potent expression of healing and connection.

Program Schedule

1–1:30 pm | Welcome Ceremony
1:30–3 pm | Traditional Jeju Island Ritual – Storytelling and Offerings
3–4 pm | Community Circle – Drumming and Dance

This program is free and open to the public (no tickets required)
