Desktop Dialogue: Navigating Gender and Breaking Barriers - Online Virtual Event

Presented by The Cleveland Museum of Art at Online/Virtual Space

New York–based artist Maria Yoon and curator Sooa McCormick explore the pressing issue of gender inequality, past and present, through their shared experience as Korean women and discuss how notions of gender play a role in their artistic and curatorial practices. Yoon’s documentary, Maria the Korean Bride (2013), uncovers the different ways communities across the United States view the institution of marriage. McCormick’s current exhibition, Gold Needles: Embroidery Arts from Korea, frames Korean embroidery works as tools for promoting women’s own cultural identities.

Program viewers are invited to watch Maria Yoon’s documentary Maria the Korean Bride, in its entirety and at no cost, here. Only one viewing per person allowed.
