Land to Land: Ritual on the Road
Spring: May 19th 2024 at Oakland Museum
Summer: July 13th 2024 in Fresno
“Land to Land - Ritual On the Road 길굿 (Gil Gut)” will explore connections between the land and a need for collective healing in U.S. communities today. In Korea, rituals offered in each village connect the people of that place to the land, while providing an opportunity for them to share concerns, hopes and ideas about how to support their mutual well-being.
For thousands of years, this is how cultures throughout the world have maintained balance and harmony in their villages and their environments, with a shaman or other such facilitator guiding the people in this work.
"이어맞자"4.3 생명 뿌리의 다리를 잇는다.
고향 모슬포에서 미국 원주민의 올로니 땅의 설움이 다시 만나는 이곳 고향땅
제주, 설문대 할망의 육지를 잇다 만 다리는 자손들의 비념으로 보이지 않는
육지를 넘어 세계로 뻗어나가 우리의 몸과 영을 이어 다시 이곳으로 향한다.
나의 고향, 나의 뿌리, 나의 평화의 염원을 잇는 제주 바로 이곳으로 그리고
세계곳곳의 제주 자손들에게
