Community Engagement

My community engagement began as an activist and graphic designer in a feminist initiative in South Korea aimed at rebuilding the Women's Student Council. The movement spread nationwide, gaining widespread attention for its advocacy of gender equality and the empowerment of female students. (See news article) Later, I joined an NPO nominated by the Seoul government, where we developed and facilitated in-person events, including large-scale games and forums focused on feminism and environmental initiatives. (See news article) I assisted with video production and graphic design while also contributing to the rebranding and restructuring of the organization's identity and workflow. With my background in minority-focused filmmaking, I am eager to create art projects and campaigns that drive social impact.

Community Engagement

and Education

Leveraging my educational experience, I aim to create projects offering both social and educational value. My approach as an educator focuses on fostering learners' agency. During my BFA, I founded and led an art club for two years, building community and advocating for the use of accessible language for a wider audience, as well as fostering audience agency in art spaces. (What I Say to Art IG) I further honed this practice during my fellowship at Lincoln Center Education, where I trained in scaffolded pedagogy to enhance learners' agency. In my projects, I aim to create spaces for direct community engagement, enabling people to voice their needs and desires.

THE NEWCOMER WORKSHOP (2025)

This workshop is based on the interactive digital art from the project developed using scaffolded pedagogy from Lincoln Center Education. The goal is for the audience to reflect on their cultural pride, particularly through food and locations that represent them. This project is presented by Lincoln Center and supported by the Asian American Arts Alliance.

Project Management

On a practicle level, I have extensive project management experience, including rebranding, workflow development, team coordination, and managing high-pressure situations. At an NPO, I led the rebranding of the organization’s identity, developed annual workflows, reorganized communication systems, and optimized personnel management. I also played a key role in launching an art startup supported by the Youth Business Support Fund in Korea, where I helped shape its identity by aligning team ideas. My ability to manage high-pressure situations was tested when the director became unavailable due to COVID while producing a short film. In just nine hours, I secured a replacement, reassured the crew, and adjusted the schedule to keep production on track.
