In this interview with Kyeol, artist Chang-Jin Lee discusses the vision behind her work and the power of art to communicate, connect people, and inspire change.
Chang-Jin Lee
At times, a single poster can speak more powerfully than a hundred-page book. Kyeol had a conversation with New York-based artist Chang-Jin Lee regarding her COMFORT WOMEN WANTED project and how art can shed light on questions of gender, identity, and memory.
She deals with the issues of how the victimization of women in the post-colonial Korean society is represented, what type of gaze operates here, and what the gaze ultimately strives to see.
