About Country Spotlight:
ASNC's Country Spotlight Series provides a view of a selected Asian country through presentations on literature, art, music, and food. Beyond standard narratives, the Country Spotlight Series explores a country through the voices of its people on topics outside the mainstream. The series will shine a light on emerging food trends, traditional music not heard outside of its country of origin, authors who explore quiet corners of their culture and history, and more.
Our inaugural Country Spotlight focuses on Korean cuisine, and moves past kimchi and bulgogi to introduce creative Korean cuisine to our audience.
