Reel. Less of a showcase, but an homage to lessons learned, failures and growth. Progress over perfection. A photo dump of memories as a step to moving forward into new chapters. It’s also a reminder of all the opportunities given and the incredible people/relationships I’ve been fortunate to have encountered along the way. Grateful for the continual opportunities for growth and eager for the journey forward 💪✌️ #director #dp

We’re so excited to introduce our next Chicago Community Fellows’ 2023 cohort member AND Chicago Exhibition Weekend partner, LMRM! @lmrm_chicago LMRM (“loom room”) is a project space, center for community resources, and gathering place serving Chicago’s fiber and textile communities. Located at @manacontemporary in Chicago, LMRM is one of the few places in the world offering public access to a TC2 digital jacquard loom and the only one in the U.S. with an open studio model: no residencies, no university enrollment. Through rental equipment, workshops, events, and collaborations, LMRM emphasizes weaving as a contemporary art practice. Catch LMRM in action during their Weaving Workshop Weekend (WWW) at this year’s Chicago Exhibition Weekend (CXW), presented by @gertie.chicago in partnership with @expochicago . WWW will showcase the experimental practices of 4 artists whose work explores diverse themes and weaving techniques. This weekend is also a celebration of LMRM’s textile community. Our studio doors will be open for tours, along with friends at sites across the city.” 🎥 @danielkwons #chicagomovies #chicagoweavers #chicagotextile #changemakers #breakoutfoundation #breakout

Food is the greatest ambassador to a culture. JJ Noodles is an interpretation of a traditional Korean dish called Jajangmyeon that became popularized post Korean War. During the mid-50's in the midst of rebuilding a post war torn country, Jajangmyeon was sold at low prices so that anyone could it eat without burden. The dish was introduced through the restaurants menu at the peak of the pandemic.
