About

Ceramics artist Gloria Jue-Youn Han makes art that investigates how traditions are altered, adapted, and created anew by diasporic peoples. In this talk organized by Surrey Art Gallery Association, she’ll draw connections between her experience as a first-generation Korean-Canadian daughter of immigrants and her practice of crafting objects of care, intimacy, and love.
