The Carnegie Museum of Art will host a Korean Liberation Day Celebration in Perilla People’s Garden on August 15.
Korean Liberation Day (Gwangbokjeol) commemorates the liberation from Japan’s colonial rule of 35 years. To celebrate Korean Liberation Day, we will host an ice cream party in the garden. The ice cream features the flavors of perilla seeds.The event starts at 6:00 pm and is free and open to the public.
The Perilla People's Garden is an exhibit in the 59th Carnegie International by Pittsburgh artist Ginger Brooks Takahashi,
whose Perilla People's Garden is an expression of her intersecting interests in gardening, culinary arts, ethnobotany, colonial histories, and contemporary conditions of migrations.More information about the garden and its progress is available on the artist's website.
