WE BACK!

First and foremost, apologies for the delay in episodes; it wasn’t planned. Been a pretty turbulent past month or so with moving back to Korea only to find out the job/apartment wasn’t quite what was expected, but more on that in our special next weekend.

In THIS WEEK’s episode, we speak to the founder of Korean Image (Instagram), Blair Naujok. But before we proceed any further, we should first apologise to Blair for sitting on this episode for so long (this was recorded over a month ago), whilst simultaneously thanking him for the postcards with Korean images on which he sent to both me and Josh - a lovely touch.

This episode touches on how the archive first came about, Blair’s family history and viewing 50s and 60s Korea in colour for the first time.

We also discuss a positive aspect of COVID (the birth of the archive), expanding and categorising the archive and contributing to various exhibitions.

Of course, there’s loads more in this one, including (but not limited to) understanding heritage through photos, immigration and acceptance, and future plans for the archive.

Something for everyone.

Get on it.
