Touring Time: A Conversation with Jin-me Yoon brings together curators and scholars to explore Yoon’s recent work through a series of short excerpts from Yoon’s work Touring Time (Everywhere Here Now), 2026, moving across themes of haunting, migration, ecological time, and the parallel and entangled histories of Venice, Seoul and the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) as sites of war, progress, trade, tourism, and ecocide. The conversation traces the work’s improvisational methodology, mirroring its wandering, listening, and resistance to predetermined meaning alongside its formal strategies of framing and vertical time. Panelists Kyoo Lee, EJ McGillis, Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, Vicki Kwon, and moderator Ming Tiampo will respond to and build upon one another’s reflections in dialogue with Yoon.
