Cuchifritos
This event has ended.
The Richard and Mica Hadar Foundation, in collaboration with Cuchifritos Gallery and Project Space, is presents "Daeng’gi Kimchi Factory", an installation by Flora Choi. In her performance/installation, Choi substitutes chopped-off daeng'gi braids (a traditional Korean hairstyle worn by adolescent girls) for cabbage, and makes her own version of Kimchi. Choi confronts the male-dominated traditions of the past and investigates the state of women in Korea today. Her installation will be accompanied by live performances on December 22 (5-7pm), December 30 (3-4pm), January 6 (3pm-4pm), and January 14 (3pm-4pm).
Flora Choi is an installation and performance artist. Her current work investigates Korea’s cultural traditions and societal constructs. She holds a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and lives and works in Queens, NY.
