Kaleidoscope:
Conversations from the Diaspora

We’re just one week away from Projected: Korean Identity in the Global Spotlight, the first conversation in KCSF’s new Kaleidoscope: Conversations from the Diaspora series. This event will bring together thoughtful, leading Korean voices working across media, storytelling, and culture to explore how Korean identity is evolving in an era of global visibility.

As Korean culture reaches new audiences worldwide—from film and television to digital media and journalism—important questions emerge about representation, authenticity, and how diaspora communities see themselves reflected in global narratives.

We are excited to introduce the speakers who will guide this conversation.
