Specially Processed American Me
Artist
Jaime Sunwoo
A surreal autobiographical performance that uses the history of SPAM, the canned meat, as a portal into the artist’s upbringing and her family’s experiences during the Korean War. Through a narrative collage of oral history, video, song, shadow play, and cooking, SPAM becomes a powerful symbol of colonization, immigration, and assimilation. Premiering at The Brick in 2021.
