"Midsummer Dreams for Korea Peace,” our July 2024 fundraiser is now live on Youtube!
Korean War historian Bruce Cumings, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen
@viet_t_nguyen and Emmy award-winning producer and director Deann Borshay Liem @deannborshayliem joined a moderated discussion with our Co-Director Cathi Choi
@cathischoi on challenging entrenched narratives of the so-called “forgotten war.” Afterwards, artist Dohee Lee @doheepuriarts and Samsuk Ulim (삼석울림), including drummers Jiae Jang, JaeEun Jun, and Jio Im, offered an incredible performance featuring traditional Korean drums and rituals.
We are so grateful to all the community members who not only showed up to support us and our work to end the Korean War, but also to those who supported through donations, volunteered their time and energy, took photos and videos, and helped make this event possible.
We ended the afternoon with bites and drinks in the courtyard, remarks from Women Cross DMZ Board Chair Aiyoung Choi, Host Committee Member Leah Hong, connecting with old friends and making new ones. Head to our bio for the recording and highlights!
As we enter the next chapter of Women Cross DMZ with new Co-Directors Christine Ahn and Cathi Choi, we will need your continued support more than ever. Please consider donating if you haven’t already at the link in bio. Thank you for walking with us in this journey toward Korea peace.
