This work consists of research and art-making based on contemporary Millennial diaspora in the West. As a woman of color artist, I am conducting experiments to expand the space occupied by diaspora and using millennial voices as a thread to bring together disparate narratives. Instead of molding ourselves to a dominant narrative or culture, we created this site to build up autonomy of millennial diaspora voices. This place can be a louder speaker for Korean millennial diaspora by inviting other ethnic millennial diaspora voices. I am collecting testimonies, and using techniques like screen printing and projections to display them in public spaces. Instead of molding ourselves to a dominant narrative or culture, we created this site to build up autonomy of millennial diaspora voices. This place can be a louder speaker for Millennial diaspora by inviting other ethnic millennial diaspora voices. The mix of technology and analog is important to me. I’m trying to run a series of experiments to see what it takes to be heard – large, ostentatious font or micro text – and how loud I can amplify the diaspora community’s voices.
