CU Boulder Art & Art History Professor George Rivera will hold an art exhibit from June 22 to Dec. 22, at South Korea's DMZ Museum roughly three miles south of the North Korean border. The exhibit will feature 117 pieces of art, including 23 from current CU Boulder students, specifically created to reflect the tensions of the DMZ and history of border conflict on the Korean peninsula.

The Korean trip is just Rivera’s latest in an extended stint of globe-hopping as ambassador for his art collective, Artnauts, started by Rivera in 1996. Rivera hopes the art starts a dialogue for social change.
