Notes from a North Korean Tour Bus

Conversation following the presentation with filmmaker, artist and curator Matt Hulse

Since 2014 British artist filmmaker Matt Hulse has been travelling to and from North Korea, working as a tour guide for Beijing-based Koryo Tours. He’s been capturing his experiences on camera and also recording the soundscapes of that isolated and little-understood country. Fresh from leading a tour to Pyongyang, Matt visits UD to share his recent discoveries in a performance that embraces video, spoken word and analysis.
