SCREENING: UNTIL THE STONES SPEAK

This Sunday the 30th of June at 3pm, we will be screening Until the Stones Speak (2022, 100 min), by Kim Kyung-man as part of the program of the exhibition Becoming Stones by Yunjoo Kwak. Come join us for the screening and Q&A.

Until the Stones Speak by Kim Kyung-man, follows the stories of several women wrongly incarcerated for crimes they did not commit during the 1948 Jeju Uprising. As they tell the truth, the horrific scenes of their experiences are brought back to life.

The Q&A with bring together film-maker Kim Kyung-man with artists Angela Anderson and Sylbee Kim, who will discuss Until the Stones Speak and the history of the 4.3. Jeju massacre.

Kim Kyung-man has been making independent documentary films because he believes that historical awareness is an important issue. His short films include “Things that We Shouldn’t Do” (2003), “The Food Doesn’t Catch a Cold (2008) and “Beep” (2014). His feature films include “An Escalator in World Order” (2011) and “People Passing By” (2014).

Angela Anderson is an artist and researcher working primarily in multi-channel video installation, photography, sound and sculpture. Through speculative cartographies of multiple materialities and temporalities, her artistic work seeks to challenge patriarchal, extractivist narratives and foster inter-species & inter-material solidarity from a queer feminist perspective.

Sylbee Kim is a video artist who’s works articulate the consonance between spirituality and neoliberalism, exploring how technology and capital have displaced mythological figures and deities as paragons of virtue. Through a combination of allegorical imagery, speculative manuscripts and diverse display structures, she forges new discursive approaches toward understanding the ways that desire and doctrine hold sway over the human psyche.
