This exhibit was amazing, and I think this news video captures a lot of what was interesting about it. One cool idea: explicit linkages between dramas specifically and Confucian social ideals.
Did you go on the free day today? I was going to go but missed the bus, and somehow ended up going back to bed on this holiday, lol. I am going to make it happen this summer for sure. I’ve been wanting to go for some time.
Also, do you live in Boston?! I live in Winthrop.
I did go on the free day! We got in line pretty early and didn’t have to wait very long. There were a lot of families with children, and there were special activities: a martial arts demonstration that we caught the end of, and a kimchi making workshop that we didn’t stay to watch.
I saw this at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London last year and it’s fabulous! It looks like they’ve added or changed some things to reflect the Korean-American experience. I’m so tempted to go to Boston and see it again.
Hi
This is a quick check in before I do the fan wall post about the DB book club autumn read Almond by are you still interesting in hosting? It will take place 10th November 2024.
Thank you so much for confirming. You are right it is hard to know what the future holds but having a name means when I flag the book and date everyone knows who will host and you will have time to think of questions to help us focus while reading and preparing for the discussion.
No worries. I keep notes to remind me of important things like this🥰
There are some questions online and I found a summary guide where only the front page was free it sounds like its going to be quite a read with violence and discrimination re neurodiversity being highlighted as themes that could be upsetting. I will flag this in the post so anyone likely to be offended/upset can make an informed decision whether to read it/join the discussion.

There were a few pieces by local Korean-American artists, including Timothy Hyunsoo Lee. They had this piece: https://www.artsy.net/artwork/timothy-hyunsoo-lee-lotto-sweet-child-of-mine
