Still Present Pasts: Korean Americans and the “Forgotten War”
June 26 through September 12, 2010, Castle Memorial Building, Second Floor
The Korean War (June 1950–July 1953) had a devastating effect on Korea and a significant impact on the United States. On June 26, 2010—almost 60 years to the day after the war’s start—a unique exhibit about the Korean War and its legacies will open at Bishop Museum. Still Present Pasts is a multi-media exhibit that uses art, video, history and spoken word created by a young generation of Korean American artists to explore the long shadow of the war. The exhibit also features oral narratives of Koreans who lived through the conflict.
The Honolulu appearance of Still Present Pasts has been spearheaded by the non-profit Biographical Research Center, with financial support from the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities.
