Jung-ah Son (or just Ellie) is a curator/researcher/editor based in Copenhagen and Seoul. Her research focuses on seeking non-hierarchical relations among human, more-than-human, and technology as alternatives to the dualism of human and non-human. In her Ph.D. dissertation, Seeking Post-Anthropocene through a Generative Archive: Focusing on What is Missing? and Anthropocene Curriculum, she argues that interdisciplinary artworks and workshops can generate inclusive relations that embrace more-than-human and technology and form participatory public spheres, which contributes to shifting anthropocentric thoughts.
Her recent curatorial/editorial projects include «Mul-teo» (2023, Osisun, Seoul), «A Playground for Porpoise» (2022, Arts Council Korea), «Project Hashtag 2021» (2021, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, MMCA), and «Jeju 4.3 Art Festival» (2017). he had collaborated and worked with various experts in different disciplines, including oceanography, astrophysics, biology, and et cetera.
