On December 15th, 2011, KoreanAmericanStory.org, in partnership with Korean American Community Foundation (KACF), hosted an event, “Korean American Identity: Past, Present & Future” to celebrate our Korean American heritage and identity. It was an engaging evening of discussion and live participation as we looked back at our immigration history, gauged what it means to be Korean American, and explored the changing faces of the Korean American community today.

What a night! The Opening Reception of In the Garden at One Art Space exceeded all expectations, bringing together over 100 guests for an unforgettable evening of art, conversation, and community.

HAN IN TOWN Opening Reception
Presented in partnership with Flushing Town Hall, HAN IN TOWN (KoreaTown) is a photo series by Janice Chung that focuses on Korean American business owners of Flushing, Queens. While Flushing is now known to be a large hub of multi-ethnic communities, it was once the epicenter for Korean Americans. This project seeks to encapsulate a nostalgic era of Flushing while simultaneously pointing to the future, with the inclusion of 2nd generation business owners alongside their 1st generation counterparts.
