Kimbap and the Koreas
Kimbap, a Korean food thought to have originated during the Japanese occupation, is composed of a core of colorful vegetables and meat surrounded by rice, bound by a sheet of seaweed. The participatory artwork gathered people at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art on July 21 + 22, 2016 to collaboratively assemble rolls of Kimbap, discuss the histories that this food symbolizes, and eat together: reflecting on the question of what it means to own and ingest history and words.
A collaborative project with Abigail Han at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History.
