The MMCA Research Lab aims to explore the dynamic flows of contemporary art and lead various discourses and discussions through collaborative research projects with researchers, critics, artists, and curators along with the reserchers from MMCA.  

Art historian Kim Hyeonjoo, art critic Lee Jinshil, artist siren eun young jung, and curator Hur Hojeong participated in The Features: Contemporary Art and Feminism.

Each of the four participants discusses the beginning and boundaries of feminist art in Korea, the current state of feminism in relation to social networks and the need for solidarity, the exploration of artists who attempt to subvert conventional notions of women's bodies, and curating proposals to support the practice of feminism.
