Queer/Feminist/Praxis | Artist Sungjae Lee

Seoul/Chicago-based artist Sungjae Lee performs live on Zoom My Own Private Iowa, first performed in Chicago in 2018, based on his autobiographical experiences. For Q/F/P, Lee reconstructs his original installation, including a shrine commemorating his family’s first encounter with the US and speculating on his own racial, sexual and religious identities. Following his live performance, Lee discusses his queer performative praxis with Avishek Ganguly, associate professor of Literary Arts and Studies at RISD.

Queer/Feminist/Praxis is an international conference that brings together scholars, artists, designers, writers, and filmmakers to explore visual arts and activism revolving around the LGBTQI+ and feminist experience in South Korea and abroad.
