Abstract
Yoonha Kim is an anthropologist with a background in design. She is a research associate at inherit, focusing on the theme decentring the human. Her recent project explores alternative worldings, addressing ecological sensibility and diversifying technological imagination through wearing and making Korean sartorial heritage.
Her previous education in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London, and Visual and Media Anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin led her to deploy a range of multimodal forms of anthropology, from curatorial practices to filmmaking and sensorial workshops with emergent technologies. She has also conducted various modes of interdisciplinary research within the Cluster of Excellence ‘Matters of Activity. Image Space Material’ where she is an associated member.
