The ℝ𝕪ū𝕘ū𝕛о̄ [竜宮城], or Dragon Palace, is a mythical undersea kingdom in East Asian folklore, often depicted as a magnificent, otherworldly palace beneath the ocean. In Japan, the legend of Ryūgūjо̄ appears in classical Japanese literature, including the Manyо̄shū (8th century) and Heiji Monogatari (12th century). The myth has inspired many interpretations, with locations across Japan claiming ties to the myth.
Please join us to celebrate Dwight Hwang and Miki Yokoyama reimagine this myth through their practices of Gyotaku and mix media, exploring the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth beneath the waves🌊🐠🐡
