Art in the Classroom: Korea – Yun Suknam (b. 1939) and Her Friends
A singular object can provide multiple points of inquiry beyond the surface, leading to discussions surrounding the conditions of its creation, analysis of the imagery, and in some cases far beyond its original context. Through paintings, installations, and mixed-media works, Yun Suknam and a circle of women artists confronted gender inequality, patriarchal traditions, and women’s lived experiences in both domestic and public spheres. By placing their work in dialogue with both Korean history and global feminist movements, how does Korean feminist art emerge as deeply rooted in local struggles and resonant on an international stage to reshape the cultural landscape of late 20th-century Korea?
