Grace Esther Gittelman: Say ‘Kimchi’!

@ Jude Gallery

629 W Cermak Ave, Unit 240, Chicago, IL 60616

Opening Friday, September 3rd, from 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM

On view through Sunday, October 10th

“Say ‘Kimchi’!” is a show of ceramics from Grace Esther Gittelman that explores their Korean and Jewish non-binary identity. In “Say ‘Kimchi’!”, Gittelman references these archetypes of food and folklore from their childhood to create their own mythology about their experience of being a minority within a minority.

Grace Esther Gittelman is a Chicago-based Korean and white Jewish American originally from Raleigh, North Carolina who explores the intersections of their identity through the creation of hybridized traditional Korean ceramics. Gittelman grapples with the weight of their conflicting and coexisting cultures by applying traditional Korean ceramic techniques to non-traditional forms and vice versa.
