Join us for a conversation with Jiha Moon, an acclaimed artist and 2023 Guggenheim Fellow, as she reflects on her exhibition, Ten Moon, and her evolving practice.

After relocating from Atlanta to Tallahassee, Moon’s work has shifted to embrace new environments and influences. Ten Moon features her signature blend of paintings, ceramics, and mixed-media works that draw from Korean folk traditions, American pop culture, and digital iconography. At its center is the Shrine series, where paintings and ceramic objects merge to create intimate, dreamlike spaces that explore memory, identity, and transformation.

Moon will share insights into her practice, the symbolism of the moon as a marker of resilience and change, and her exploration of in-betweenness—where the familiar meets the surreal.

Her work is held in major collections including the Hirshhorn, the High Museum of Art, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

To close the event, the Atlanta Korean Cultural Center (AKCC) will present a Nanta performance, a high-energy percussion show that celebrates Korean culture and traditions through rhythm and movement. Founded in 2008 by HyunSuk Yang, AKCC has performed at national, state, and local festivals with a mission to build community connections through performing arts and education.

This event is free and open to the public.
