Food is Love: sam Jungwoo

sam Jungwoo

sam 정우/Jungwoo (he/him) is a queer + Trans Corean immigrant and artist boy, whose creative practice is rooted in giving deeper breath to trans euphoria / grief / love / protection / care / celebration. He creates art as a way to build spaces for deeper curiosity and connection in his unfurling as a diasporic Trans human, as a practice to dream within a system that values disconnection and violence. He is honored to be a collaborator with the House of Kilig, a Trans + Queer diaspora centered collective that utilizes kapwa and kilig as a compass in pursuit of interdisciplinary art creation, teaching artistry, and community organizing. You can find him and more of his art at @sam.doodles.
