Hojin Kang – WEB ARi 2.0
The Statue of Peace by Kim Seo-kyung and Kim Eun-sung, commemorates the so called "comfort women" – who were sexually enslaved by the Japanese military during the Asia-Pacific War. Summer 2022, the students committee of the University of Kassel welcomed the Statue of Peace, yet the University removed her this spring. “WEB ARi“ is the virtual sister of the Statue of Peace – a portable memorial for everyone that raises the question of who decides which artworks and memorials are shown in public spaces. https://www.hojinkang.com/webari-2/
