Join Korean artist Minkyung Choi and Singaporean artist Weng San Sit in discussion with Elise Hu, author of FLAWLESS, a journalistic exploration of the present and future of beauty through the lens of South Korea’s booming “K-beauty” industry and the culture it promotes. and host of TED Talks Daily, co-host of Forever 35, and host-at-large for NPR. “Timeless Youth” is a collaborative project by Minkyung Choi and Weng San Sit that investigates our individual & collective aspirations for “youth” and newness. It attempts to understand the ways in which the phenomena is echoed in all aspects of our lives; from identities to our bodies to urban spaces, and in social, cultural, scientific and virtual spheres. Focusing on the Korean and Singaporean societies, ”Timeless Youth” explores this pursuit for youth and modernity and its often contentious relationship with our history and memory.
