SUMMARY:Road to Utopia: Threshold KCCoC Gallery Invitational Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago and curated by SAIC (School of Art Institute of Chicago) KSA (Korean Student Association) Curating team\, the invitational exhibition asks each artist what their Utopia looks like. In this exhibition\, we invite you to explore the concept of Utopia through the lens of ten rising Korean artists.

By pushing the boundaries of their creativity and striving towards their own personal Utopias\, the ten artists\, inspire us to imagine utopia for ourselves and for the world we share. We hope that you will join us in experiencing the diverse stories and perspectives of these talented individuals throughout the exhibition space.

The film screened in over 90 film festivals internationally and won 11 awards. Ivey Camille continued to refine her filmmaking craft with a full scholarship to Idyllwild Arts Academy in California. She later returned home to work on films in her community of Navajo Nation. At the age of 19\, Ivey Camille began work on Powerlands\, her first feature. Powerlands has screened internationally and won several festival awards including the The 2022 Rigoberta Menchú Grand Prize. \nDirectors Statement \nMy grandmother taught me how to stand on the frontlines. She taught me about the ways that my ancestors have resisted displacement since colonial settlers came here. When thinking about how to tell the stories in this film\, I think first about the storytelling traditions I have learned from elders in my community. That is why this story is told through the stories\, voices\, and languages of Indigenous women. \nI started making films at the age of nine\, through the Native youth media project Outta Your Backpack Media. At the age of 13\, I directed In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman\, based in the true story of my great-great-great grandmother Yellow Woman\, who lived through the Navajo Long Walk of 1864- 1868. At the age of 19\, I started Powerlands\, which took six years to film and edit. \nFor too long\, others have been telling our stories. As an Indigenous filmmaker\, I have seen the ways in which our stories are co-opted and stolen. This film is an intervention\, a chance for our stories to be told by us\, in our own languages. \nAll proceeds will support our Indigenous Medicine and Traditional Food Gardens.
