Join the Student Activities Board (SAB) BEseries, and the School of Music and Dance (SOMD), and the students of the Queer and Trans Asian Pacific Islander (QTAPI) as we host yuniya edi kwon for her BEseries dinner presentation. edi's presentation will draw from her course "The Ceremony is You" -- which connects the history of queer-trans Korean shamans to her interdisciplinary solo & collaborative work. 

More information on yuniya edi kwon:

yuniya edi kwon (b. 1989 – aka eddy kwon) is a violinist, vocalist, and interdisciplinary artist based in Lenapehoking, or New York City. Her practice connects composition, improvisation, movement, and ceremony to explore transformation & transgression, ritual practice as a tool to queer ancestral lineage, and the use of mythology to connect, obscure, and reveal. As a composer-performer and improviser, she is inspired by Korean folk timbres & inflections, textures & movement from natural environments, and American experimentalism as shaped by the AACM. Her work as a choreographer and movement artist embodies an expressive release and reclamation of colonialism’s spiritual imprints, connecting to both Japanese Butoh and a lineage of queer trans practitioners of Korean shamanic ritual. She is a recipient of the 2023 Foundation for Contemporary Arts Robert Rauschenberg Award in Music/Sound, a 2023-25 Arts Fellow at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, 2024 Civitella Ranieri Fellow, United States Artists Ford Fellow, 2022 Herb Alpert Ucross Residency Prize, Van Lier Fellow & Resident Artist at Roulette Intermedium, Johnson Fellow at Americans for the Arts, Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, Hermitage Fellow, and a recipient of the National Performance Network Creation Fund Award. She was described as “absolutely stunning” in a feature in Wire Magazine, and was listed as one of the Washington Post’s “22 for ‘22: Composers and performers to watch this year.” In addition to an evolving, interdisciplinary solo practice, she collaborates with artists of diverse disciplines, including The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Du Yun, Holland Andrews, Tomeka Reid, Kenneth Tam, Isabel Crespo Pardo, Mariah Garnett, International Contemporary Ensemble, and as a member of the artist collective Juni One Set with Senga Nengudi and Degenerate Art Ensemble co-directors Haruko Crow Nishimura and Joshua Kohl. In 2023, eddy founded SUN HAN GUILD, a sound and performance collective with composer-improvisers Laura Cocks, Jessie Cox, DoYeon Kim, and Lester St. Louis. As a violinist, violist, and/or vocalist, she has performed alongside Roscoe Mitchell, Moor Mother, Mary Halvorson, Nicole Mitchell, Henry Threadgill, Cory Smythe, Susan Alcorn, Carla Kihlstedt, Jessika Kenney, Lesley Mok, and others. She has performed throughout the Americas and Europe, including the Kennedy Center, Big Ears Festival, Kaufman Center, Roulette Intermedium, SESC Pompeia, Barbican Centre, Jazzfest Berlin, Festival Sons d’hivers, Festival Banlieues Bleues, moers festival, and more. Commissions include Roulette Intermedium, Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, National Performance Network, and Colorado College Creativity & Innovation. She was born and raised in Minnesota, on the ancestral land of the Dakhóta and Anishinaabeg.

Join the SAB Arts & Culture team and First year interest groups for BeSeries for dinner presentation with Nasreen Alkateeb. 

Nasreen Alkhateeb is an award winning filmmaker whose work illuminates historically excluded voices. By illuminating racial injustice, disability inequity, marginalized youth, the first woman VP, and the largest telescope NASA has ever constructed, Nasreen thrives as a leader in films that shift our culture. Utilizing a plethora of lenses, her ability to motivate audiences is a direct result of approaching story through multiple identities: multi-heritage, Black, Iraqi, Disabled (chronic pain + neurodivergent), raised Muslim, LGBTQIA+, and 1st Generation, born in Oakland California.

As a Director of Photography, Nasreen has lensed Kamala Harris’ successful Vice Presidential campaign, Oprah’s Emmy award series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, Netflix’s Unknown Cosmic Time Machine, and the Black women who revolutionized fashion. She executive produced East of the River that was supported by Tribeca Film Festival, and she directed campaigns for NASA and the Women’s March, in addition to lensing scripted films centering Gay and Disabled lead characters. Nasreen was awarded Cinematographer of the Year by NASA for her coverage of Operation IceBridge.

Nasreen is a Visions mentee of the American Society of Cinematographers, a fellow of the Ford & Mellon Foundation’s Disability Futures, a fellow of The Disruptors, a fellow of Sundance’s Accessible Futures Intensive, an alumni of the RespectAbility Lab, and a fellow of the WIF Creative Circle. Nasreen has participated in the SUNDANCE Film Festival and developed programming for AFI DOCS, the Nantucket Film Festival, the Brooklyn International Film Festival, CINE, TIVA, and the EMMYS. She helped lead the 2022 RespectAbility LAB, dedicated to introducing twenty Disabled writers, and directors to studios like Disney, Sony, Lionsgate, Dreamworks and Warner Brothers.

Speaking engagements: Sundance Film Festival, Lionsgate "Conversations That Matter", Disney, Disney’s The Power of Inclusion Summit, TEDx, AwesomeCon, ReelAbilities Festival, RespectAbility LAB, StoryCode, Filmgate Miami, Light City Baltimore, NASA Women in Action, Bus Boys & Poets, PORTALS, AMPM, Pratt at Manhattan Mornings, The George Washington University, WPOW at Ohio University, DePaul University, and Pratt Institute
