Maria Yoon

Maria the Korean Bride is fiscally sponsored project of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and an on-going multi-media performance designed to bring attention to the social pressure and ostracism that I have endured as a first generation Korean-American unmarried woman.
Maria the Korean Bride challenges and explores what marriage is as I document my cross-country journey as a forever Korean bride in my Korean bridal garb. It includes my random marriage proposals, interviews with various participants and mock wedding ceremonial performances with them. When complete, Maria the Korean Bride will be a feature documentary including highlights from most of the fifty states where these marriages take place.
