Artist Talk: Wonjung Choi
Wonjung Choi is a Korean-born, Virginia-based artist whose multidisciplinary work delves into the complexities of identity formation in a globalized world. Through labor-intensive installations, sculptures, and research-driven practices, she examines the intricate process of cultural evolution, where migration plays a central role. Her art reflects a continuous exploration of the self, navigating the intersections of regional and global identities, and questioning the very nature of identity in a rapidly changing world. Choi’s work is a testament to the transformative power of cultural hybridity, encapsulating the essence of human adaptability and evolution.
This program is presented by the School of Visual Arts, John M. Anderson Endowed Lecture Series and co-sponsored by the Palmer Museum of Art.

Artist Talk: Ryan RedCorn
Ryan RedCorn is an Osage photographer, filmmaker, graphic designer, and comedian. He was a writer/story editor and actor on FX's critically acclaimed Reservation Dogs, and his photographic work is represented in the Palmer Museum’s permanent collection. As he describes himself: Ryan RedCorn was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, into a family of preachers, politicians, and salesmen, which are all the same occupation. He is the ilonpa of Raymond and Elizabeth RedCorn, and the object of jealousy from his three younger brothers Jon, Alex, and Studebaker, who between them have four master's degrees and two PhD's. Ryan, however, took six-and-a-half years to get an art degree in visual communications from the University of Kansas. To the surprise of many, Ryan wasn't as stupid as everyone thought, and has been able to translate his education, his eldest son entitlement, and his family lineage into something some people think is valuable. Ryan is currently creating a feature documentary on the history of his Osage… .
