The International Expressive Arts Therapy Association Conference is taking place in Winnipeg this year. This exciting global gathering of arts therapists is titled “Indigenous Roots of Expressive Arts Therapy: Transformation, Social Justice, and Social Change – Globally and Locally.” As part of this event, on Thursday evening several Exchange-area galleries, including MAWA, will be open for an “Evening Celebration of Global Voices and Sacred Stories.” MAWA will be hosting a performance by one of the visiting artists, Dohee Lee. Go to Eventbrite to buy a $30 ticket that includes refreshments. Interested in attending the whole conference? Check out IEATAconference2017.com. Some subsidies are available.

Lee is an Oakland-based, ritual performance artist who fuses traditional Korean and contemporary art. Her works explore engagement of all kinds: physical, emotional, mental, social, economic, political, geographic and spiritual. Her intention is to enhance the connection between beings, nature, ancestors and spirits, and create an empathetic response.

$30 includes admission to all performance events associated with the conference that evening. Check IEATAconference2017.com for information on how to buy tickets.
