Experience Nayeon Yang's 15-minute artist performance, utilizing a live-feed video to delve into the unspeakable and inaudible languages embedded within Korean and English, shaped by societal constructions. In this unique presentation, Nayeon Yang employs art as a powerful language to authentically express the self, discussing her body, its complexities of personal narrative, and navigating the intricacies of identity in both languages.

Performance at 2pm - 2:15pm and 4pm - 4:15pm

Bio

Nayeon Yang is an interdisciplinary artist and social service worker based in Chicago. She moved to the US from S. Korea in 2006. Experiencing the implied status of a 'foreigner' now in both countries, she explores the relations of systemic “foreign(ness)” and “presence” as well as capital and labor in a global society through her projects.
