Soomi Kim's MLCG (My Little China Girl)

I am delighted to be directing long time collaborator Soomi Kim's solo show MLCG (My Little China Girl) at Dixon Place this November! 

When David Bowie died, performing artist Soomi Kim was suddenly reminded of her own coming of age as a Korean American in the MTV generation and her adolescent desire to be the exotic Asian woman in Bowie's China Girl video. MLCG is a high octane solo performance that traverses Kim's experiences as a first generation Korean American navigating the tyranny of Western perceptions of beauty; the absence of Asians in mainstream American media; and the dearth of Asian heroines in American narratives.
