Opening Reception & Artist Talk

Mina Cheon “HAUNTED KOREAS”

Saturday, February 22, 5:30pm

Asian Arts Gallery & Center for the Arts Atrium, Towson University

1 Fine Arts Drive, Towson, MD 21204

Join Mina Cheon to explore the HAUNTED KOREAS: Dreaming Unification Protest Peace exhibition together and gain insights into how she creates art to advocate for positive change. Mina Cheon (PhD, MFA) is a global Korean new media artist, scholar, and educator who divides her time between Baltimore, New York, and Seoul, Korea. Born in Seoul to parents who were originally from the North, Cheon has never known a unified Korea. She has worked on North Korean awareness and global peace projects since 2004 and her specific focus on East Asia reflects the transgenerational trauma of Korea’s history, particularly division, war, and Japanese colonization.
