This lecture will focus on a series of six photographs by the Korean American artist Yong Soon Min, Defining Moments (1992). The photo montage self-portraits carry the weight of historical violence that is embedded in the very flesh of Korean diasporic existence, locating trauma and loss at the center of Korean American cultural identity.
The World Cultures, World Arts Series bridges the gap between the business education of a Baruch student and the cultural and artistic world. In each session, an artist or art historian presents a detailed look at a piece of artwork, its context and its relevance for today. We will connect world cultures with the fine arts, to see if we can find an alternate way to become globally-accomplished students.
