Opening Reception: “Dinner of the Future” on Monday, August 17, 2020, @ 7 PM (EST)
Connecting Korean and DC artists through a series of online conversations & digital communications, Mapping the Future World is building dialogue, connectedness, inspiration, insight, and artwork to make sense of, and move forward in, this uncertain and unprecedented time.
Considering the ways COVID-19 has been radically changing our world, both literally and figuratively, Transformer invited 8 artists to partake in a series of online conversations and group calls mid-May – early August 2020, to imagine ways of approaching an equal and equitable future. South Korean artists Seo Young Chang, Seulki Ki, and Hannah Woo, and DC-based artists Maps Glover, Esther Eunjin Lee, Nara Park, Valerie Wiseman, and Naoko Wowsugi engaged each other in creative dialogue, facilitated by Transformer staff, as they thought through and created artworks that reimagine and reinvent social arrangements, constructs, and structures.
