What is Kowiana?

Formed in 2007, Kowiana is a non-profit organisation primarily composed of young Kiwi adults of Korean descent ("Kowi") who share a vision of celebrating and promoting awareness of multicultural identity in New Zealand society. Even our name is a celebration of such an identity, a fusion of the words "Korean" and "Kiwiana".

Although focussing on the unique identity of Kowis, Kowiana is committed to addressing issues of multiculturalism which face both this group and New Zealand as a whole.

The 3rd "Kimchi & Marmite" Conference
Tuesday, 12 July 2011 08:19

Enquiring Kowis: Where are you from?


Saturday 23 July, 9am – 4pm
The University of Auckland Business School
12 Grafton Rd, Auckland CBD

Following on the success of Kowiana's "Kimchi & Marmite" conferences in 2008 and 2009 where we established Kowi (Kiwi-Korean) identity and discovered Kowis in action, we are proud to present the third conference "Enquiring Kowis - Where are you from?"

"Where are you from?" is one of the most common questions that Kowis are asked. Kowis are often asked about where we "originally" come from. As Kowis, we live in New Zealand but our roots and heritage are based in Korea. It is time to reflect upon, rediscover and understand the roots of where we are from. Through the conference Kowiana hopes to bridge the gap of diversity through empowering young Kowis to understand where they come from which will help them to embrace other cultures better.

The conference will include inspirational speakers and interactive workshops to facilitate discussions about why we should understand and keep our root and how it helps to embrace other cultures within New Zealand community.

뉴질랜드에 살고 있는 한국인으로써 “Where are you from?”이라는 질문을 자주 받곤 합니다. 이 곳에서 자라난 1.5세대 코위들에게는 이 질문이 정체성을 확립하는데 큰 역할을 합니다. 뉴질랜드에서 살아가지만 한국에 뿌리를 두고 있는 코위들에게 이번 컨퍼런스를 통해 우리가 어디에서 왔는지, 한국인의 뿌리를 되짚어보고 또 타 문화인들에게는 한국문화를 소개할 수 있는 기회를 갖고자 합니다.

Melissa Lee 국회의원과 Shean Shim, 송창주 교수님, 윤홍기 교수님, 유승재 선생님 등의 강연을 통해 코위들의 뿌리와 정체성에 대해 토론하는 시간이 될 것입니다.

또한 이민 1.5세대와 2세대들이 자신의 경험을 공유 할 수 있는 자리를 마련하여 젊은 코위들이 서로 교류하고 친목을 다지는 시간이 되기를 기대하고 있습니다. 이 컨퍼런스를 통해 올바른 정체성을 가지고 나아가는 코위들이 되었으면 합니다.
