About the Speakers 關於講者
Yujin Lee (b. 1986 in Daegu, Korea) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Jeju Island. She received a BFA from Cornell University and an MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University. After living in Berlin and New York, Lee relocated to Jeju, where she purchased and renovated a farmhouse that now serves as both her home and an alternative artist residency, Next Door to the Museum. Lee is currently pursuing a PhD in Cultural Mediation at Yonsei University in Seoul. Her research draws on autoethnography and international case studies to examine how artists living and working in rural contexts create public spaces that critically engage with ecological degradation and hyperconsumerist culture.
Yujin Lee （1986年出生於韓國大邱）是一位以濟州島為基地的跨領域藝術家。她獲得康乃爾大學藝術學士學位及哥倫比亞大學視覺藝術碩士學位。在柏林與紐約生活後，Lee 搬回濟州，購買並翻修了一間農舍，現作為她的住家及藝術家駐留項目「Next Door to the Museum」。Lee 目前在首爾延世大學攻讀文化調解博士學位。她的研究運用自我民族誌與國際案例，探討生活與工作在鄉村脈絡下的藝術家，如何創造出能夠批判性介入生態惡化與超消費主義文化的公共空間。
Hyesu Cho (b. 1993, raised in Busan) is an independent curator and researcher working between South Korea and Japan. Her practice explores invisible presences—memories, relations, and the undercommons—through feminist and postcolonial approaches to East Asian contemporary art. She studied Creative Writing at the Seoul Institute of the Arts and is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Arts Studies and Curatorial Practices at Tokyo University of the Arts. Alongside her curatorial and Korean-Japanese translation work, she also works as a sanitation worker in Tokyo, an experience that informs her thinking on labor, visibility, and communal life.
Hyesu Cho（1993年出生，於釜山長大）是一位往返於韓國與日本之間的獨立策展人暨研究員。她的實踐透過女性主義與後殖民觀點探討東亞當代藝術，關注隱形的存在——記憶、關係，以及「底層共通體」。她畢業於首爾藝術大學文藝創作系，現為東京藝術大學藝術學與策展實踐博士候選人。除了策展與韓日翻譯工作外，她亦在東京擔任清潔人員，此經歷影響了她對於勞動、能見度與共同體生活的思考。
