The UW Center for Korea Studies will host an exciting event on April 29th. This event is supported by the East Asia Center.
This presentation will discuss the ‘Aenikkaeng’ Koreans of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and the history of their migration to Mexico in the early 1900s. Award winning photographer, Michael Vince Kim, will also discuss and share his work in the Yucatan with the descendants of the Aenikkaeng Koreans.

In 2017, he received first prize in the People Stories category of the World Press Photo Contest and was selected to take part in the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam.
