I feel a bit silly writing a personal statement - who even am I? But pausing something I’ve dedicated almost half my life to is life changing (quite literally in fact). Also: this is my Instagram account so why am I stressing?!?
I also felt it necessary and obligatory to voice some of the very real struggles that have accompanied these many years as I am certainly not the only once wrestling with the complexities of working within spaces for and built by struggling communities.
I truly hope that @yeoja_mag becomes reincarnated into something even new and hopeful. It’s with ends that we make space for something new. 🥀
First real feed post in a min cos social media got me anxious. But if Jesus can resurrect himself after three days I guess I can resurrect this instagram account too. 🐣#backfromthedead photo: @iamsarahtasha
I’m really happy to continue my journalistic work at the intersection of art and science.
For this latest piece with @clotmagazine , I had the pleasure of speaking with @zyniewica about her practice. Hers is one where biomaterials, risk, and memory collide.
Her project Signs of the Times opens at @artlaboratoryberlin (24 April, with an artist talk on the 26th) if you’re in Berlin.

Earlier this week, I co-collaborated on a post for @goetheinstitut_korea about @yeoja_mag . @graphicat had reached out a few months back, wanting to do an interview with me about running the publication. It was at a time where I was still unsure of @yeoja_mag ’s future.
In the end, during the span of time, I made the decision to place the publication on pause and shared a general statement on @yeoja_mag ’s account as well as a more detailed and personal explanation here. However, it still seemed fitting to continue with the interview and gave me an opportunity to holistically talk about my motivations before-during-now and answer some more personal questions as well as well as reach a new wider audience to discuss the realities of work in the margins and it’s continued logistical difficulties under capitalism.
It seemed like a well rounded and perfect way to close this chapter 💕 I would be honored if you read the interview. The link is in my bio.

젠더·퀴어 담론에 비해 BIPoC라는 용어는 한국 사회에서 아직 비교적 생소하게 사용되는 개념입니다. BIPoC는 Black(흑인), Indigenous(원주민), People of Color(유색인종)을 의미하는데요. 오늘은 우리가 일상적으로 접해 온 페미니즘 담론과는 접근 방식과 초점에서 차별화된, 상호교차성 페미니즘에 기반한 온라인 매거진 「여자 YEOJA」를 소개합니다.
입양과 이주라는 개인적 경험을 가진 창립자 미진과의 이번 인터뷰에서는 독립 예술 환경에서의 고민, 다양성의 의미 등 폭넓은 이야기를 담았습니다. 2025년 하반기 휴지기를 앞두고 있음에도 불구하고, 여성이라는 범주를 넘어 다양한 사회적 위치와 경험에 주목해 온 매거진 「여자 YEOJA」의 문제의식은 오늘날에도 의미 있는 논의를 제안하고 있습니다.
미진과의 전체 인터뷰 그리고 ‘다양성과 포용성’ 주제의 다양한 콘텐츠는 🔗👉 프로필 링크에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

“There is a prevailing notion that art and science are wholly separate fields. One discipline is seen as rooted in fact, ruled by reason. The other is considered an emotional process, where empiricism plays a lesser role. Yet this division is misleading.
To me, they exist more as a Venn diagram, and the middle part, where the sets overlap, is where things become truly interesting…”
Wrote my second piece for @clotmagazine covering @artlaboratoryberlin ’s panel discussion on their upcoming residency program, CHRYSALIS. ARTISTS IN LABS during @berlinscienceweek (1-10 Nov 2025)
Take a look if you are interested in the intersection between art and science and how those in Berlin are looking to explore art and science in tandem.
Panelists: artists Helena Nikonole (@helenanikonole ), Julius Holtz (@juliusholtz ) and Margherita Pevere (#margheritapevere), scientists Álvaro Rodríguez del Rio (#alvarorodriguezdelrio), Ludmila Litvin (#ludmilalitvin), and Germán Joosten (#germanjoosten)
Moderators: Regine Rapp (@rappregine ) and Christian de Lutz (@christiandelutz ) of ALB.

I wish I knew how to feel happy and safe. I’ve got a broken brain and a broken heart. And no one can crawl inside of me and push levers and gears to produce the internal feeling of happiness and safety I struggle to produce on my own.
