Korean Stories: Rooted in Hanji, featuring the work of Eunju Park and ILang Song, celebrates Korean culture and language through traditional and contemporary stories and techniques.
Korean Stories: Rooted in Hanji is an inspirational exhibit that celebrates Korean culture and language through traditional and contemporary stories and techniques.
Eunju Park works with Hanji, a traditional Korean paper, tearing and crafting it into expressive forms of Hangul, the Korean characters. Park showcases the beauty of Korean culture while uplifting viewers with messages of hope, joy and self-affirmation.
ILang Song creates Minhwa, Korean folk paintings on Hanji, traditionally created to express everyday life through symbolic imagery. The layered process of creating Minhwa is an act of decolonization, a celebration of freedom and inclusion, and a way to share messages of blessings and encouragement.
The public is invited to join the exhibiting artists for an artist talk at a special reception on Thursday, September 18 at 6:30 p.m. at Gallery@501.
