About this Event

Join us for an inside look at two interconnected exhibitions with Jiyeon Kim, Curator of Korean Art, and Stephanie Tung, Byrne Family Curator of Photography.

First, learn about PEM’s historic collection of Korean art and the newly installed Korean Art gallery.

Discover the human stories behind the artworks and how they reflect the experiences of Koreans who lived the nation’s most transformative era.

Then, explore how contemporary artist Jung Yeondoo was inspired by PEM’s collection and its historic ties to Korea in his new video commission.

Learn about the way he uses photography to connect and inspire in Jung Yeondoo: Building Dreams.
