Antiracist curating

Workshop talk with Dr. Jungmin Son in the context of the exhibition (Not) A Doll's House. Traditional Roles and Brand-New Images(in English)

In 2021, theater scholar Jungmin Son curated the exhibition "Puppetry's Racial Reckoning" at the Ballard Institute and Museum at the University of Connecticut (UConn). In particular, she addressed anti-Asian racism and found ways to counter racist stereotypes with other exhibits that contribute to the empowerment of the affected communities. She will talk about her work and will be available for discussion.
