Kyungmi Shin: Origin Stories organized by jill moniz explores Shin’s visual storytelling as a Korean American woman who engages indigeneity as a site of knowledges and creativity.
About
She uses personal archives and figures from Korean shamanism to question the navigational forces that chinoiserie and “the Orient” play in empire, colonization, religion, gender and importantly love. Shin layers photography, painterly traditions, ethno-mythological symbolism and porcelain to engender a generous, new imaginary that centers rather than elides and holds space for diverse journeys across space and time.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the Korean American Muse, and Kim and Keith Allen-Niesen
