Joe Kye: Portal

Musician and installation artist, Joe Kye, in collaboration with botanical artist, Theresa Bear, invites the Portland community to join them in creating Portal, a collective ritual to honor our ancestors. As a Korean American musician, he uses his practice to keep traditional Korean music, language, and culture alive, as well as to connect to the sounds and experience of life as an immigrant in the Pacific Northwest. This seance event incorporates musical performance, storytelling, letter-writing, and collective making to inspire conversations with our ancestors, and hopefully, conversations between our ancestors.

Kye and Bear invite you to bring photographs and stories to honor your ancestors to the event.

Please RSVP, as seating will be limited.
