Amy Yeminne Kim
I am an artist working in photography and installation. Before my long stay as a Texas resident, I grew up in South Koera during the height of often violent democratic protests. I am interested in modern day geopolitics through the lens of the oil extraction craze in West Texas. My work is informed by photo history and theory, the promises and failures of the photographic medium, and my shifting identities as a Korean and as an American. 2025 PH Museum Grant 3rd place. Author and artist of “Basin Recipe Cards,” Nourish and Resist, Yale Univ. Press. 2024.
