In this lecture, we contemplate the notion of ‘diasporic thought.’ As filmmaker born in the United States and raised in Korea, upon returning to the U.S. during adolescence, found himself pondering what ‘Korean identity’ truly meant. It was during this time that he encountered overseas Korean friends living across the globe, each forming their own unique communal and personal identities, thereby expanding the scope of ‘Korean identity.’ While working in New York, the director traveled to Cuba in 2015, where he coincidentally encountered Cuban Koreans and discovered the significance of the diasporic identity they symbolized, feeling a pressing need for more ‘diasporic narratives.’ Through diasporic narratives, he finds a thread connecting the multiculturalism, diversity, immigration, refugees, and marginalized neighbors that the Korean Peninsula grapples with today. The potential for overseas communities, the existence of the diaspora, and the future of the Korean Peninsula lie in their inherent ways of peaceful coexistence and embracing differences in life.
