An exhibit on Korean Americans and the forgotten war

FEBRUARY 11 - MARCH 25, 2007.



STILL PRESENT PASTS is an unprecedented, multimedia examination of the Korean War from the perspective of Korean Americans.



As the United States struggles with war and occupation in Iraq, an in-depth examination of the human cost of war is sorely needed. In STILL PRESENT PASTS, long unspoken memories and lessons of the Korean conflict are brought to light building a bridge towards reconciliation and a lasting peace on the divided Korean peninsula, and elsewhere in the world today.



Inspired by Korean American life stories of struggle, survival and compassion, three visual artists, three performance artists, a documentary filmmaker, a psychologist, and a historian came together to create a common vision for STILL PRESENT PASTS. As the oral histories are retold via text, audio, and video recordings, visitors experience the projected images of soldiers from all sides, cross a twelve-foot bridge of division and reconciliation, and are asked to help piece together gaps in family history via an interactive puzzle. All this and more intermingle with installation art, photographs, historical texts and first-person recollections to create a strong visual and deeply evocative experience.





STILL PRESENT PASTS draws on the arts to create a unique and important audience encounter with the past and present. In doing so it demonstrates the power of art to convey and stimulate deeply personal but also collectively shared experience across gender, ethnicity, class, and national boundaries.





The exhibit also features the program: "6.25: history beneath the skin", (February 25th) by Hyun Lee, Grace M. Cho & Hosu Kim. A collage of audio recording, body movement, installation and slide & video projection, each woman breaks the silence of her own Korean War legacy.





Other events include "Project Future: A night of hip hop featuring SKIM & other artists," (March 9th) and "Forgotten History: Korean adoptees reflect on our histories from the Korean War to present," (March 10th) to address the ways in which war and occupation have lasting effects on our lives and communities.
