Cory Feder’s first solo exhibition at juniorhighLA explores the ever-changing nature of home.
was thinking about home: its meaning, our relationship to it, and its ever-changing nature. The artist, who is best known for her intricate illustrations revolving around Korean culture and folklore, aimed to explore migration as it pertains to our ancestors, and how for them, the idea of home was more fluid than static.
“When we describe home, it’s usually in this very static sense, where it’s more of a noun, but I think we should be describing more as a verb,” Feder explains to NYLON. To represent these thoughts, Feder chose to make butterflies and kites the main symbols of her exhibition, titled. “They’re perfect symbols for the diaspora and kind of how we relate to identity right now,” she said.
Despite Feder’s history of “really bad experiences” with gallery spaces and institutions, she decided to take a chance on the Los Angeles-based community arts space, after being introduced to the space’s founder through a friend. Luckily, Junior High ended up being the right fit for Feder, as she found comfort in its welcoming atmosphere. “I was like, ‘Okay, I am willing to do a show with these people. Because they make me feel comfortable, and okay about what I'm doing,” she says.
To urge attendees of “Walking Home on Wind” to continue to reflect on the exhibition’s themes long after their departure, Feder created a zine meant to spark conversations already in motion.
