GW Professor Featured In Korean American Exhibition
Dana Tai Soon Burgess, associate professor of dance, is prominently featured in the Smithsonian Institution’s celebration of the Korean American Centennial. His picture is included in a photo exhibition celebrating 100 years of Korean American history, and the Smithsonian has commissioned Burgess and his company, Moving Forward, to create a dance work as part of the centennial celebration.

Burgess is one of three artists featured in the photo exhibition, “A Korean American Century.” The exhibition highlights the history and achievements of Korean Americans in the United States, and exhibit material traces the relationship between Korea and the United States leading up to the initial Korean immigration. “A Korean American Century” runs through Aug. 20 in the Baird Gallery of the National Museum of Natural History.
