K-Grandmas’ Square
Still from K-Grandmas’ Square
In Production
Directed & Produced by | Arum Nam |
In South Korea, young women raised K-pop light sticks in the streets and brought down a president. A feminist filmmaker turns her camera on her two grandmothers, women who have never once joined a protest, silenced by war-era stigma and a lifetime inside a Korean patriarchal family. Late in life, they begin to claim their own voices. Through a playful collaboration with their granddaughter, they reform the patriarchal square, turning the home itself into a place of political agency–starting with Grandma's room.
K-Grandmas’ Square was supported through the 2025 Research & Development Grant.
