STORY SEEKERS:

Storytelling - Activism - Imagination

Story Seekers is a practice-based research project led by six artists from Canada and Korea: Kim Miryeon, kimura byol lemoine, Koh Seung Wook, June Pak, Park Jiwon, and RaYun. The project is anchored in forms of storytelling as its primary methodology, exploring various ways to illustrate both personal and collective histories. It is an interdisciplinary collaboration that explores complex themes such as history, memory, nature, and separation through various artistic languages, including photography, video, and performance. The project expands beyond an exhibition, encompassing a publication and public conversations.

This project began as an exchange initiative between the Korea Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts in 2023, commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

We would like to acknowledge the financial support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
