Je Yun Moon

Curator, Writer
Seoul, Korea
 

Dr. Je Yun Moon is a curator and writer based in Seoul, whose research explores the body’s limits and its complex relationship with language. Her work focuses on the performative power of poetic expression, particularly in addressing generational trauma and cultural amnesia.

Her curatorial project Tongue of Rain at Art Sonje Center (2024) was inspired by the layered dialogues of feminist poets Cecilia Vicuña, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, and Kim Eon Hee. At Frieze Seoul 2024, she curated Nerve or Divine Pathway, a performance program that sought to create a ritual space, challenging contemporary language politics. As the former Deputy Director at Art Sonje Center, she has held curatorial positions at Nam June Paik Art Center, the Korean Cultural Centre UK, and the Liverpool Biennial.
