Intersectional Diasporic Experience of Koryo-Saram, the (post-)Soviet Koreans.
In 1937, Koryo-saram were forcibly displaced from the Far East of the Russian SFSR to Central Asia as part of a secret racist operation launched by Stalin’s government, which was rearranging multiple populations and indigenous peoples due to perceived “anti-Soviet activities”. Over a century of their existence, Koryo-saram have developed their own cuisine, literature, fashion, music, and cinema, often far from the limelight.
In collaboration with Misha Zakharov, a PhD candidate at the University of Warwick and curator at Screening Rights Film Festival, and Goethe-Institut UK
