The Newcomer is a multimedia community art project that explores cultural pride within the Korean diaspora. Through participatory art-making, a short animation, and interactive digital art, the project challenges fixed notions of culture, embraces its fluidity, and reimagines cultural pride through the lens of amalgamation. The art-making process will bring together diasporic participants to reflect on their heritage through discussions about culturally significant foods.

“뉴커머”는 한국의 문화적 자부심을 탐구하는 멀티미디어 예술 프로젝트입니다. 참여형 미술 워크숍, 단편 애니메이션, 인터랙티브 아트를 통해 ‘한국적임’의 의미를 전통을 넘어 다양한 문화의 융합 속에서 재해석합니다. 특히, 참여형 미술 워크숍에서는 참가자들이 문화적으로 의미 있는 음식을 매개로 자신만의 문화적 자부심을 고찰하는 경험을 제공합니다.

This project is a part of the What Can We Do? Artist Grant program, presented by Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) and is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
