Human Rights Watch's Screening and Discussion of I am Sun Mu

This event has expired. Please visit the Events Calendar for current listings.

Since fleeing his native North Korea to defect to the south, the artist Sun Mu has worked under a defiant alias meaning “no boundaries” to criticize the repressive regime of Kim Jong-un. A former propaganda artist, Sun Mu subverts familiar images that once glorified the Supreme Leader into satirical political pop art. Offered an unlikely solo exhibition in China, the anonymous artist prepares his show undercover, risking his freedom and safety to expose the truth through art.
All guests are invited to attend a drinks and food reception with the panelists following the screening and panel discussion. This event is the Film Club Annual Fundraiser. Proceeds will support the work of Human Rights Watch and its Asia Division, Women’s Rights Division and Student Task Force.
4:30pm: Doors open; Meet & Greet
5:30pm: Film Screening, followed by panel discussion
