Theresa Hak Kyung Cha Project looks into the Korean American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's work and life through language by exploring themes such as translation/use of multiple languages, time, mother/national identity and sound (in echo). Cha is only present through her text and others' memories and voices in the work. The project also reflects on the question of how an individual's history can be documented, which I find very similar to the process of translating spoken words to written texts.
