Visualizing History: The Politics of North Korean Art

September 29, 4:00pm - 5:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies

Min-Kyung Yoon, postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Korean Studies and 51��� Department of History, will present a talk titled "Visualizing History: The Politics of North Korean Art, 1966-1994. The talk will explore the ways visual images write history by unraveling the interplay between art, history, and politics in North Korea. As part wider cultural production, art in North Korea is largely used to legitimate the North Korean state and its leaders. Yoon will explore how history and the everyday were recreated in paintings to give visual form to a socialist imaginary far removed from the present reality yet essential for sustaining the state and its leaders.
