Minah Kim is an artist and educator in Philadelphia.

 

Born and raised in South Korea and living cross-culturally, she grew her interests and concerns in intersectionality, non-verbal languages, displacement, and human isolation as the consequence of societal violence and atrocities.

 

Majorly using ceramic that carries long memory of human culture and fascinated by the human relationship with vessel-making, she produce object, sculpture, and installation contextualizing inherited human emotions.
