Highlights include Between Worlds: Art and Shamanism in the Korean Diaspora with shaman and author Seo Choi and artists Meesha Goldberg and Na Mira; An Encounter with the Korean Avant-Garde, co-presented with the Hammer Museum; Sung Neung Kyung Performance at GYOPO, followed by conversation between the artist and MMCA Senior Curator Soojung Kang; The Pepper: Migration and Metaphor, co-presented with Ssi Ya Gi and Second Generation Seeds; Destigmatizing Psychedelics with Preeti Simran Sethi, Pat Song, Harpinder Kaur Mann, and Candex Louie; Cold War Baby: Historical Context Meets Aesthetics, with Simon Leung, Sunny Xiang, and Steven Lee, moderated by Amy Kahn; and An Afternoon with Youngmi Mayer and Her Memoir, "I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying," with journalist SuChin Pak.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
