(Ritual + Art)
Futurity of the Womb: Myth of the Cyborg (2025, Kelly Strayhorn - Alloy Studios, Pittsburgh)
An experimental, 60-minute multimedia performance that reimagines Korean history through the lens of feminist mythology. Blending ritual, burlesque, speculative fiction, and mythology, the piece unfolds in four sections, interweaving live performance, video projection, and audience interaction.
Drawing from speculative futurism, mythology, and embodied ritual, Futurity of the Womb offers not a single narrative, but a timeline rewritten—a feminist mythos where stories once censored, erased, or stigmatized emerge alive, electric, and here. Futurity of the Womb is an offering of a new timeline. This is not a return to history—it is a reprogramming.
"We have armed our mythic feminine - with force, fury and creation as a performance of the resistance, tearing apart the cages built by our own and exposing and rewriting them with our bodies, voices and our will." - Mudang Jenn
Spirit Whispers Performance (2024, The Nicholson Project, Wash D.C.)
As part of her residency, Julia collaborated with Korean American shaman Mudang Jenn, who led a spiritual ritual at The Nicholson Project. The ritual cleansed the space, and audience members were invited to participate to connect with their ancestors and experience deep spiritual connection.
