Generations of Korean artists have made patchwork cloths called bojagi (say: boh-jah-ghee). Traditionally, they created these cloths from scraps of fabric found in the home, carefully sewing them together by hand. Bojagi could be used to cover food, wrap gifts or precious items, or carry everyday things.
Today, contemporary artists are reengaging with this tradition, investing bojagi with new meanings.
