Letter from the curator #3: A Story of Oseonbo: Sounds Lost in Translation
In our fourth Letter from the Curator, Jeongwon Seo invites us to explore YoungEun Kim’s work, A Story of Oseonbo: Sounds Lost in Translation, by tracing Korean traditional music transcribed into Western notation. Through this work, we ask ourselves how sounds and ways of hearing were transformed, translated, and lost in the tides of colonial modernity.
