[KS] 제126회 규장각 컬로퀴엄 개최: 권성연

[Vicki Kwon]

Dear Frank, Adam, and all,


Thanks Frank for your question, and Adam, you are right. My talk
covers contemporary
Korean artists’ works that cover various issues related to military bases
with feminist perspectives. The topics include “comfort women” and
“comfort stations”
at historic Japanese-occupied Burma and US military bases in Korea today.


BTW, I didn’t give the Korean title. It was translated by an organizer. A
new post with the correct Korean title will be sent out soon.


Thank you.


Vicki
