AHL Foundation is pleased to present the public debut of "Mountains after Mountains (산 넘어 산)": a Virtual Reality (VR) experience centered around generational struggles for reproductive justice. Featuring the autobiographical account of theatremaker Amy Mihyang Ginther's illegal abortion in South Korea, this VR installation challenges the prevailing notion that adoption can replace the right to choose. By emphasizing solidarity with her Korean mother, the artist sheds light on the intersecting systems of power that restrict bodily autonomy.

💌Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, June 3, from 3 pm to 6 pm. An artist talk will be moderated by Senti Sojwal, Communications Director for Planned Parenthood of Greater New York and Member of the Asian American Feminist Collective, at 4 pm on the same day.
