siren eun young jung
siren eun young jung studied in Visual Art and Feminist Theory at Ewha Womans University in Seoul and at the University of Leeds. Her artistic interest lies in how the yearning desires of unknown individuals meet with the events of the world, how such contacts become resistance, history, or even politics. Since 2008, she has been working on Yeosung Gukgeuk (Korean Traditional Female Theater) Project in which she follows a community of performers of the genre. In 2013, she was awarded Hermes Foundation Missulsang with the project. Now she is expanding her research area to other Asian female theater, including Takarazuka and Taiwanese Opera.
