GYOPO supporters Kathy and Anthony Choe host the brunch at their Hancock Park home in Los Angeles (address provided upon ticket purchase).

Proceeds from the annual Chuseok Benefit go towards our year-round free public programming, while also funding GYOPO’s broader mission. This includes galvanizing diasporic Korean cultural producers and art professionals to generate progressive, critical, intersectional, and intergenerational discourses and community alliances. GYOPO is a cross-cultural, multi-issue platform for the Korean diaspora intersecting with other marginalized identities. GYOPO brings together international cultural producers for our vast array of programs including artists, writers, curators, filmmakers, activists, scholars, and creatives, such as Cathy Park Hong, Ava DuVernay, Andrew Ahn, Joan Kee, Minsuk Cho, Christine Sun Kim, Jane Jin Kaisen, Dolores Huerta, Mary H.K.
