Photographer Kim Ok-sun (김옥선) presents a solo exhibition ‘Ok-sun, Hye-rim, In-sun’ at the MMCA Changdong residency gallery, portraying three women who lived through Korea’s democratization and industrialization. The show juxtaposes images of politician Kim Ok-sun (a woman known for wearing men’s clothes and running as a male-presenting politician), American-born Mun Hye-rim (문혜림) who returned to Korea in 1961 and ran a support center for military-base women, and Kim In-sun, a former nurse in Germany now running a hospice for migrants with her female partner. Kim uses photographs she took alongside archival photos, diaries, campaign posters, and documentary video to reconstruct fuller, often overlooked life stories. Framed by questions about gender and aging, the exhibition emphasizes how society remembers—or erases—the many roles women played. (The exhibition runs through Nov. 1.)
