Ready to learn more about Korean culture than bibimbap, banchan, and political tensions? At the Asian Art Museum, guest artist Ahree Lee's interactive exhibit "Your Piece" creatively reimagines the Korean tradition of bojagi, a kind of quilt made from otherwise unusable cloth. In an age when recycling is a necessity, it is refreshing to hear of centuries-old traditions of reuse and renewal. Lee, a Los Angeles video artist, makes this concept into video art in two ways. First, Lee collected memories of locals and Asian Art Museum patrons on video, which she wove together in bojagi style. She also created a tapestry of the Asian experience in America using Asian-American home videos. The evening will start with a co-lecture from Lee and Silvia Chang, co-curator of the Korean exhibit at the Asian Art Museum on the history of the bojagi.
Discover "Your Piece" at 7:30 p.m. at the Asian Art Museum, 200 Larkin St., S.F. $5; asianart.org.
