W3: Keyword "Ji"
Ji is a Chinese pictograph comprised of three symbols: the hand, the meat, and the spirit tablet denoting ceremony. Traditionally ceremony was undertaken in order to attain something; the hand of the priest presents the meat of a human sacrifice to the spirit tablet (a symbol of a god). We propose to use Ji as a metaphor to explore the relationship between interculturalism, the artist and the art.
If we consider ceremonies of interculturalism, we ask the following questions:
- - What is being sacrificed? What is being gained?
- - Are there ethics involved with partaking in ceremonies of interculturalism?
