How do we choose what to remember? And what does it mean to remember and to re-enact the past and of people that no longer exist?

for fans of: oral histories, field recordings

Pansori Sound Studio presents a listening evening of Peace Palace, an experimental sound-walk, that brings together sound-work and other works by Producer Mae-Li Evans, Tatiana Kim, Andrei-Sergei Kim and artist Julia Dahee Hong touching on family, narrative, history and grief. The night concludes with a series of talks with Radio Producer Tatiana Kim and Andrei-Sergei Kim on working with family archives and the Korean diaspora experience. A publication of Peace Palace will be made available, along with research and transcripts of the sound-walk.

Peace Palace is an experimental sound-walk produced by artist Lina Eunji Chang. The project investigates the life of Korean activist Yi-Jun, who was found dead along with two other Korean political emissaries shortly after they were denied entry to the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907. Searching for alternative explanations for how and why these political figures died, the sound-walk asks its participants to consider the historical blindness that arises from international conflict and slippages that occur when oral history disappears.

Pansori Sound Studio produces audiovisual media projects that span narrative radio, documentaries, podcasts, and publications as well as experimental formats like field recordings and installations. Led by artist and producer Lina Chang, Pansori values immersive stories that go beyond sensationalism, tokenization, and stereotypes, searching for oral histories that illuminate ordinary life and shared experience.
