Kyueun Kim

I am a curator of a Collaborative Artistic Research Project supported by the Canada-Korea Connections Fund the Canada Council for the Arts, with [M] Dudeck (Canada | Italy) and Dew Kim (South Korea). We have also been selected for the Canada-Korea Co-Creation Fund 2024. Both [M] Dudeck and Dew Kim’s visual art and performance practices revolve around the themes of queerness, spirituality, and religion. We explore the convergence of queer spiritual practices in the age of advanced technology, as well as a cross-cultural discussion on cultural negotiations involved in queering artistic practices. As a collective, we forge our path, crafting narratives and frameworks vibrant with techno-mediatic contemporaneity, yet always oriented towards a more equitable, and joyful future. As part of the project, [M] Dudeck visited Seoul for two weeks in Fall 2023, and the three of us engaged in a series of tours, dialogues, and meetings with cultural producers in Korea.
