In the wake of the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square and ongoing protests in Hong Kong, “CounterART: Aesthetics of South Korean Activism” will examine public protest in East Asia through the lens of art. This exhibition will feature works of art created as mechanisms for socio-political change, with the focus on South Korea serving as an empowering case study for how art can shape political narratives and become an outlet for public participation. In showcasing these works, this exhibit strives to create dialogue about the impact of art on political discourse in South Korea, East Asia, and the world at large.
