Artist Talk at the Innovation Studio: Julia Kwon

Artist Talk at the Innovation Studio: Julia Kwon

Overview

See Julia Kwon's work in the studio and learn about her practice sewing interpretative Korean bojagi. Talk begins at 6:30pm.

Julia Kwon, Artist in Residence, and MoCA Arlington Senior Curator, Blair Murphy, will discuss Kwon's practice and the work she’s focused on during the 8-week residency at the Innovation Studio.

Julia Kwon sews interpretative Korean object-wrapping cloths (bojagi) to comment on received notions on Asiatic femininity and the interconnected systems of oppression. She embeds patterns from contemporary sociopolitical events into her work to challenge the notion of authenticity and examine the complexities of constructing identities within the context of globalization, cultural hybridity, intersectionality, and the collective struggle for social justice. Her work argues for more capacious possibilities for identity and sense of community.

Talk will begin at 6:30pm.
