CANCELLED
Youngmin Lee: Bojagi, The Art of Wrapping Cloths

Tuesday, April 21st, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

This lecture has been cancelled due to public health concerns.

Bojagi (Korean Wrapping Cloths) are pieced together from small scraps of cloth. It is the most unique form of Korean textile art. Bojagi occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods and also to cover food. It is also strikingly contemporary: the designs and colors of bojagi remind one of the works of modern abstract artists. Bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism. Youngmin Lee will talk about bojagi during this lecture and show her own bojagi works. Learn more about Youngmin here.
