Dear Everyone,
I am writing from Kyeonggi-do Kwangju-si, from the 나눔의집 (House of Sharing) that
houses ten former Korean comfort women and curates a historical museum, where I am
volunteering and doing dissertation research. As you probably know, Korean former
comfort women have been making paintings addressed to their past and current
experiences for about ten years. There have been exhibitions of these paintings in New
York, Philadelphia, LA and elsewhere, where women (one at a time) have accompanied
their paintings and given testimony in tandem with the exhibition. The women are
accompanied by an English-Korean bilingual staff member.
Currently the staff here are looking to take this project elsewhere in the United States and
(particularly) to Europe, where it has never once travelled. Would any of you be
interested in some way sponsoring or hosting the exhibition? The staff is seeking
financial support for the project as well, to cover travel expenses for the two travellers
and accomodations. Please write to me if you are interested and to ask any questions
you might have.
best wishes,
Josh Pilzer
