"Your Piece" is inspired by Korean wrapping cloths, or bojagi, which women pieced together out of scraps of spare material, creating an heirloom full of beauty and utility from what would otherwise be waste. Artist Ahree Lee will reimagine the bojagi as a video installation that invites the public to participate in creating a collective wrapping cloth of memories.
At 7:30 PM join Ahree Lee and Silvia Chang, Curatorial Assistant of Korean Art for an in-gallery talk to explore the bojagi as a source of inspiration for "Your Piece." Meet at the top of the grand staircase.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will be providing complimentary valet bicycle parking starting at 5:30pm. So ride to the museum, park your bike with SF Bicycle Coalition, and attend Ahree Lee’s "Your Piece"!
