- **Event Name**: Koryo-saram and its Manifold Afterlives
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Fri, 27 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening of exchanges emerging from the exhibition "To time, to distance" curated by Tamara Khasanova and Junho Peter Yoon.About this EventAAAinA is proud to share an evening of presentations and conversations emerging from the group exhibition, , featuring artists Alisa Berger, Daria Kim, Luiza Pârvu, and Toma Peiu. The exhibition highlights reflections by these artists on their belonging to and relationship with Koryo-saram communities (Корё-сарам, 고려사람). Within the global Korean diaspora, Koryo-saram occupies a distinct position as an identity formed in the aftermath of the forcible deportation of Koreans living in the Russian Far East to Central Asia in the 1930s.Starting with the history of Koryo-saram, the program frames diaspora as a site of ongoing negotiations, frictions and innovations. With research-based presentations, field notes, and artist talks, the evening will reflect on how legacies of forced migration unfold across space and time, challenging the issue of continuity. These ideas are explored not as static or linear trajectories, but as kinetic conditions that continually reshape one’s relation to self and collective belonging. Following presentations by writer and curator Sophia Park and artists Alisa Berger, Daria Kim, and Toma Peiu, the artists will join for a conversation moderated by Park.To time, to distance is co-curated by Tamara Khasanova and Junho Peter Yoon and will be on view at AHL Foundation from March 26 - April 25, 2026.
