K-CON at LACE is a one-day series of events that invites fans of K-Pop and contemporary art alike to gather and consider the role of popular culture and media in creative, political, and party contexts. Visitors can write their own resistance fantasies at a political fan fiction workshop, engage with a glowing lineup of LA/ International artists and cultural producers, while meeting other fans over refreshments and K-Pop music itself. This public programming is presented alongside the exhibition Take My Money, Take My Body, curated by Narei Choi and Nicolas Orozco-Valdivia as part of the Emerging Curators Program. Event Schedule: 1:15–2:45 PM “Communal Political Fan-Fiction Meetup” led by artist Gloria Galvez 3:00–4:30 PM "Radical/Un-Radical K-Pop: A discussion with Fans, Scholars, and Artists” presented by GYOPO. Panelists Patty Ahn, Olivia Campbell, Christan Copeland, and Michelle Cho will discuss the political possibilities and limitations of Korean popular media, each approaching the question from different practices. 4:30PM Performance by Nuna, a multicultural group of singers and dancers, featuring Ashley Yoon, Sierra Glazebrook, Jenny Lyric, and Nami Matsushita.
