K-Publishing: Expressing Korean Script (Hangeul) Through Drama

Learn, perform, and write Korean script Hangeul in this session run by artist Lisa Myeong-Joo.

The artwork, writing, and photographs produced by kids in this session will become content for a picture book that will be collaboratively shaped by kids throughout the K-Publishing program and launched in July.

BIOS
Lisa Myeong-Joo is an artist and arts worker, born in Seoul and living on Wangal Land, Sydney. Combining personal narrative, material and gesture into an expanded performance practice, she considers how meaning is made and transferred between the body, place and culture. She applies a conceptual and playful approach to the complexities of identity and belonging constitutive of her position as part of the Korean diaspora in Australia. Her works are performative responses to this lived experience that make room for embodied, ambiguous and risky processes to unfold.
Viet-My Bui is a Vietnamese-Australian artist and illustrator based in Naarm/Melbourne. With a focus on movement, organic lines and character-driven imagery, her work captures the fantastical and the feminine in luminous hues.
Recent group exhibitions include For The Deckade, Sorse Gallery (2024), Inspire Inclusion, Off The Kerb (2024), LOCALS, Outre Gallery (2024), and Gather Together, Long Gallery, Tasmania (2023).
Dr Julie Choi is Associate Professor in Education (Additional Languages) in the Faculty of Education, University of Melbourne.
