Old houses lining a roundabout in Washington DC. A distant building is flying the Korean flag.

The old Korean Legation building exterior. A Victorian brick mansion with the Korean flag on top. It’s a bright sunny day

A view of the information board outside the Korean legation building explaining the importance and timeline of this place

The beautiful wood front door, very tall. On either side are historic plaques including a National Register of Historic Places

Stopped by the Korean Legation, which is where those 7 students would have gone in the 1800s. Today it’s a museum preserved by the area’s Korean American residents #arirang

Get well soon!

Having cake always makes a bad day better, so enjoy it 😊

Starting this Friday, we'll be able to see Koo Bohnchang's photos in the Korean culture center in Madrid and I'm so happy.
Not only that, but I'll meet him! (well, I won't be the only one but you know haha).

It's the first time I'll meet a Korean photographer and I'm nervous, ngl

In the course I'm taking, some people use ChatGPT as if it's Google. I'm speechless...

I'm tempted to cut off some of my family members sometimes. Seriously, how come it's so difficult for some people to respect boundaries and not to give advice when I didn't ask for it?

Ah, sorry, it's not advice, it's just an opinion (irony off)

Me cuesta evitarlo, no sé... estoy poco acostumbrada a ser el centro de atención (no me gusta, me incomoda) y que me dejen hablar de lo que sé o hago 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hoy he hablado demasiado con mis compis de clase llegando casi a monopolizar la conversación y ahora llevo horas en un bucle de pensamientos de "¿Por qué has hablado tanto si a nadie le interesa lo que estabas contando?" + "les has empezado a caer mal por ser así".

The Metropolitan Museum receives a grand gift of global photography - 1854 Photography The 2025 Wellcome Photography Prize highlights global health challenges through powerful images spanning domestic abuse, climate migration and microscopic disease

“Some of these works will appear alongside painting, sculpture and historical objects. Photography can be a lens on the world, showing us social, political and economic circumstances in ways that painting or sculpture alone cannot.”

Son los datos lo que me interesan, la verdad jaja
Además que he visto últimamente que la autora está dando charlas o similar, pero no he podido oírla, por lo que tenía dudas con el libro

Ay, que no lo había visto, ¡gracias!

¿Qué tal está? Lo tengo en el punto de mira para leer

Friends, an article (short one, just 2,400 words) that I wrote just came out. It's part of the @eastasiaforum.bsky.social issue on "Resource Geopolitics" and my article is on #Korean #SoftPower (or rather my misgivings that Soft Power actually exists and really can help Korea, beyond

I'd be able to relax and create at my own pace and that would mean that I'd also post more of my work process and my final work.

Es triste el fenómeno de escritores que te piden que te suscribas a su newsletter porque sus textos lo valen y es verdad que sí, y mucho, pero acompañan su trabajo de imágenes generadas con IA y no caen del guindo en que los ilustradores y fotógrafos son autores también que merecen remuneración

Y el cine nació documental Hacemos un repaso sobre las figuras más importantes del género a lo largo de diferentes artículos. En la primera entrega veremos cómo los inicios del cine fueron una fábrica de realidades antes de ser una fábrica de sueños.

#10AÑOSDECLAVOARDIENDO

El cine y la fotografía tomaron posiciones distintas a la hora de documentar el mundo, el primero optó por ficcional la realidad y la segunda creyó ser su guardiana.

I got a 3-month subscription to Mubi thanks to an amazing offer (1€). Now, I need some recommendations on what to watch and enjoy it 😊

Those were optional, because the mandatory were pretty normal for the Audiovisual Communication degree

1. History of America (it was mostly South America)
2. Symbolism in Christian art
3. Ecology
4. History of art
5. Script writing (an extra one)

There's a fellowship at the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies, and I was happily checking all the requirements, until I realized I can't apply because my work is about photography, and their archive is about the late Joseon period.

Not gonna lie, this Friday looks like a Monday to me 😅

Well, I need to come back to my senses. I was accepted into the last congress I applied to. Let's get ready to talk about 80s feminist photography in South Korea.

The next step is to try to publish a paper, because I have a few lectures and I need to balance.

Thinking about starting some threads here about old photography. Mostly Spanish or Korean (my research), I'd love to share the history of photography with people interested in that.

Now I need free time, but I think I'll do it. This year, I want to do more cultural diffusion.

From Spanish Galleries:
In view of the lack of response from the Government to our demand for a cultural VAT on the sale of works of art for artists and galleries, Spanish art galleries will close their doors from 2 to 7 Feb.

Yesterday, I attended an info session for a course for the unemployed. I had to fill out some personal info, took an easy test, and had a 20-minute interview. Again, not for a job, but for a course for the unemployed.

And we have to wait to check if we're accepted. This shit is crazy 🙃
