Sue Jeong Ka

Sue Jeong Ka's work seeks to meet communal needs. From commemorations of female Asian immigrants from the 19th century to a trilingual community newspaper and a piece assisting queer and immigrant homeless youth in New York apply for federally issued IDs, she mobilizes traditional art spaces to provide community services and in so doing to critique the public structures in which we exist. She is an alumna of the Whitney Independent Study Program (NY, US) and a recipient of Gail and Stephan A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Fellowship (Alberta, CA), LMCC's Creative Engagement Grant (NY, US), the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship (NY, US), The Laundromat Project's Create Change Fellowship (NY, US), and has been in residence at the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity (Alberta, CA), The Drawing Center (NY, US), Studio in the Park, Queens Museum/ArtBuilt (NY, NY), Soma Summer (Mexico D.F., MX) among many others. Currently, Ka is researching the history of carceral architecture in NYC's Chinatown in support of Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.
