As we step into the new year, it’s a moment for reflection on the closing show of Mirae kh Rhee‘s installation Seven Sisters: Missing Merope from the previous year. We want to extend our sincere thanks to all who joined us, as it truly made for a remarkable event. KAFA was thrilled to collaborate with GYOPO and the Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles (KCCLA) for the closing exhibit!
Artist Mirae kh Rhee and curator Rachel Jans led a personal tour of Missing Merope, followed by 친구들하고/With Friends, a screening of experimental films with Rhee’s transnational adopted Korean artist friends: Rhee, kimura byol, Joy Dietrich, Eunha Lovell, Alex Myung, Leah Nichols, and KimSu Theiler. These films sparked meaningful and necessary discussions on racial, cultural, and sexual identity, as well as concepts of kinship and belonging. Thank you Mirae Rhee for letting us be part of your artistic journey. It was truly an honor.
