Comfort Women Wanted
by 1a Space
Location: 1a Space
Artist(s): Chang-Jin LEE
Date: 18 Feb - 31 May 2012

Comfort Women Wanted brings to light the memory of 200,000 young women, known as "comfort women", who were systematically exploited as sex slaves in Asia during World War II, and increases awareness of sexual violence against women during war time. Based on artist and curator Chang Jin-Lee's research since 2007 in Asia, (including Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, and Australia), meeting "comfort women survivors" and a former Japanese soldier from W.W.II. Comfort Women Wanted involves ad-like prints and multichannel video installation. This project promotes empowerment of these and all women, and seeks to establish a path toward a future where oppression is no longer tolerated.
