DESCRIPTION:Join art historian Sohl Lee (Stony Brook University) for a virt
 ual lecture on her recent book\, The Minjung Art Movement: Decolonization 
 and Democracy in South Korea\, which offers the first comprehensive art-hi
 storical study of this pivotal activist art movement. In this online talk\
 , Lee explores how minjung (people’s) art articulated intertwined aspira
 tions for decolonization and democracy during South Korea’s 1970s–80s 
 pro-democracy struggles\, reshaping our understanding of contemporary Kore
 an art.\n\nGuest speaker: Sohl Lee is an art historian\, curator\, and wri
 ter who specializes in modern and contemporary Asian art—especially the 
 art of Korea—in relation to decolonial politics\, social movements\, and
  ecological futures. She is Associate Professor of Modern and Contemporary
  East Asian Art History in the Department of Art at Stony Brook University
  (SUNY)\, where she teaches and writes on topics including the 1970s–80s
  minjung (people’s) art movement in South Korea\, eco‑aesthetics\, and
  oceanic/Transpacific visual cultures. Her recent book\, The Minjung Art M
 ovement: Decolonization and Democracy in South Korea\, offers the first co
 mprehensive English‑language study of that movement\, tracing how artist
 s used printmaking\, painting\, performance\, and image circulation to bui
 ld “movement publics” and reimagine democracy and sovereignty in the w
 ake of the Japanese empire\, the Korean War\, and authoritarian rule.
