Join in a conversation celebrating Jin-me Yoon's solo exhibition and new publication!
Join us for a conversation to celebrate Jin-me Yoon’s exhibition, Dreaming Birds, Becoming Crane, and the new book, Jin-me Yoon: Life & Work, written by Ming Tiampo and published by Art Canada Institute. The conversation features Ming Tiampo and Andrea Kunard and will be moderated by Victoria Nolte. Jin-me Yoon will be present and answer questions during the Q & A.
Kunard and Tiampo will speak to the central questions of Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon’s practice: How can we move away from colonial ways of being? How do we create communities where sustainable relationships with our environment exist? How can we build a more equitable world?
This event takes place at CUAG in Yoon’s solo exhibition, Dreaming Birds, Becoming Crane, which brings together recent video and photographic works with a focus on intergenerational and cross-cultural transmission of knowledges.
We will also be giving away two free copies of the book! Light refreshments provided.
This event is co-presented with Art Canada Institute | Institut de l’art canadien and supported by the Korean Cultural Center Canada.
Access This is a seated event; chairs are provided. A microphone will be used.
