The first international art exhibit dedicated to the lives and voices of North Korean women is coming to New York City this September. Titled "UNSEEN: 14 Artists on Resilience and Rights of Women in North Korea," the exhibition in Tribeca brings together 14 international artists alongside moving video testimonies from North Korean escapees.
See it at Lume Studios on Broadway on display from September 20 to 27. Coinciding with the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, UNSEEN invites audiences to reconsider justice, visibility and global solidarity through the stories of women who were never meant to be seen. The contemporary art in this program connects lived experiences of North Korean women to broader global movements for women's rights.
UNSEEN is curated by Dr. Stephanie Seungmin Kim with participating artists Jungwon Kim, Heinkuhn Oh, Seung-Yeon Lee, Seonglib Kim, Kelvin Kyung Kun Park, Jiayi Liu, Rosa Park, Minji Choi, Carolina Fusilier, Kwon Hayoun, Joyce Kim, Mari Katayama, Soyoung Chung and Minouk Lim.
The exhibition is free and will be open daily from 11am to 7pm.
