Hanes Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Yong Soon Min

Born in a village near Seoul the year the Korean War ended with an armistice without peace, and the continued division of the country, Yong Soon Min calls herself a Cold War baby. At age seven, she immigrated with her mother and brother to join their father in Monterey, CA. Min became an Asian Pacific/Korean American in New York City during the 80s where she cut her political teeth.
An endowment established in 1983 through the generosity of Nancy and Robin Hanes supports the Art Department’s Visiting Artist Series. This important program brings both established and emerging artists to campus to discuss their work in public lectures and to offer individual critiques to our M.F.A. students. The Hanes Visiting Artist series greatly enriches both our academic programs and our outreach to the wider community. All lectures are free and open to the public.
