Korea: There and Here - Art Exhibition

The Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts is pleased to announce a new community exhibition entitled “Korea: There and Here” presented by the Korean American Foundation Hawaii commemorating the 120th anniversary of Korean immigration to Hawai‘i.

This is the first in-person exhibition of Yoo’s historic images that have only been seen online at the Korea Society and National Geographic. Some of these images have never been seen before by the public.

Photographs by Marie Ann Han Yoo and rubbings from tombstones of early Korean laborers will be exhibited. Themes that emerge through this exhibition are Korea’s post-war reconstruction, the spirit of Koreans, and social and political conditions of immigration. This exhibit is a celebration of Koreans and Korean Americans during the 120th anniversary of immigration and demonstrates the strength, creativity, and resilience of this community.
Exhibition Hours:
Mon - Fri: 7:45am to 4:30pm
