Current Project 2022/2023
Juliann is a Fellow Artist working on the development of a multimedia immersive installation and performance, including: workshopping and video-documenting the process with collaborators at HCL and previewing the work in various settings. The iterative project is designed to be adaptable for galleries, theaters, community centers, and virtual spaces, to promote collective and personal inner healing methodologies.
FUSION festivities: Lights on the Horizon
Juliann’s presentation will feature segments of performative work developed during her HCL residency. Through an interdisciplinary presentation that blends spoken word, instrumental music, dance, and visual elements, Juliann explores the role of perception and time in acknowledging meaningful cycles of renewal in the season of contemplation. The audience is invited to join Juliann in this sonic/sensory experience.
Lights on the Horizon presents from 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. High Concept Labs, in partnership with Experimental Station.

乐: Interpretive sound, chant, and meditation
茶: Social gathering over tea
庆: Cultural game that anyone can play, followed by open conversation with Juliann
“Through these activities and dialog we can seek to relate to each other, and to all the elements of one’s environment, with directness, immediacy, and profound appreciation, and, in the moment, find the ‘life beauty’, which is ever-happening, once again.”—Juliann Wang
