Bojagi (보자기) is the Korean traditional embroidery, costumes, and wrapping cloths, which are very interesting modes of expression in dye textiles and embroidery work varied according to family custom and use. The bold freedom from self-consciousness that suppresses personal desires, restraint , exaggeration, and hidden humor in the textile art of Korean women includes infinite beauty and mystery. Chunghie Lee's lecture on Bojagi can be found here  in her earlier appearance at the KCSB Heritage Sympoium.

Whether it is a physical place or an idea, ‘home’ can mean something different at each stage of life and varies by culture and geography. Housing as shelter is a universal human need that is inaccessible for too many, locally and globally. A shelter is a need, a house can be a haven, a nest can be empty, a home can be inhabitable: climate change, income inequality, racism, violence, love, community, and family are just a few of the factors that impact our concept of home and our ability to attain and maintain a home. All submitted works of art share this perspective on the notion of ‘home’.
