[BCMA] [media release - Caetani Cultural Centre] Workshop with artist Romi Kim

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

August 1, 2019



*Public Service Announcement*

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*



Sharing experiences and broadening connection: a potluck and free workshop
on racialization, stereotypes and allyship.
*Armstrong-raised Romi Kim, Caetani Cultural Centre’s current
artist-in-residence, is hosting a conversation about being human and doing
better.*



*The free workshop and potluck will be on Thursday August 22nd from 5-7pm
in the Caetani Centre’s Studio Gallery.*

 “As a second-generation Korean Canadian queer person, I’m continuously
questioning how I see myself and how others see me. I spent my pubescent
years in Armstrong, the population of Koreans being just my family.”

Because of this, Kim searches for stories of belonging to explain society
and its hierarchies.

Romi Kim obtained her BFA at the University of Victoria in W̱SÁNEĆ and
Lekwungen peoples territories in a double major of Visual Arts and Gender
Studies and, after spending 2 years in South Korea, has returned to the
North Okanagan after being awarded one of Caetani Cultural Centre’s 2-month
Fresh!AiR Artist-in-Residence spots.

She primarily works within an interdisciplinary approach in video,
installation, and performance, so, *in addition to searching through
histories of the Caetani house, Kim returned to her old home in Armstrong
to do a performance piece, walking the streets of in full drag, wearing a
handmade paper gown inspired by Sveva Caetani's gown.*

Centre at 250-275-1525.
