Okja Kwon (b. 1981)
is a Korean-born transnational adoptee
raised within constant proximities of (in)betweenness.
Kwon intertwines research and writing with artmaking,
exploring real and imagined memories of a Korean-born ancestry
through interlacing cultural metaphors and archival documents.
They manifest illustrative drawings and manipulate textured surfaces
in an attempt to (re)generate a sense of (imagined) kinship and (be)longing.
