The New School

Join artist Sue Jeong Ka, librarian Sasha Jones, and librarian and activist Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz for a workshop on archival practices related to social justice and civil rights.
This event is part of <A HREF="https://www.newschool.edu/100/exhibition/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">In the Historical Present</A>, an exhibition in the Anna-Maria & Stephen Kellen Gallery featuring commissioned artworks, artist-led engagements and performances, and works drawn from the New School's art collection and archives in celebration of the university’s Centennial. 
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 ID, her artwork seeks to mobilize traditional art spaces for community services and in so doing, critique the public structures in which we exist. She is an alumna of the Whitney Independent Study Program (New York) and a recipient of the 2018 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, the Create Change Fellowship, artist in residence at The Laundromat Project (New York), the Studio in the Park, Queens Museum/ArtBuilt (New York) and The Drawing Center (New York).
