a talk from Nicholas Bonner
Nicholas Bonner is the owner of Koryo Tours & Studio In 1993. Koryo Studio facilitates cultural projects as well as commissions art outside the tightly controlled limitations that the North Korea art studios prescribe. Bonner is the producer of several documentaries about North Korea. The Studio’s collection of North Korean graphics and linocuts have been published in two books and fine-art exhibited internationally including the Korean pavilion at the Venice Architectural Biennale in 2014.
Bonner will present an illustrated talk introducing North Korean socialist realism, the only accepted genre of art in the country, as well as a look at the changing graphic art scene.
