Jaewoo Kang

Jaewoo was born in Busan, Korea, currently living and working in the stolen and unceded land of xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. His training in art started with visual art, which allowed him to be interested in moving images. Since he graduated from Simon Fraser University Film Program, he has been working as an interdisciplinary artist. A major theme for him is queer eroticism and how intimate moments with others can allow the self to have an introspective experience. In 2020, he has received Canada Council and BC Arts Council to make his first animated short, Lover, Come Back to Me, which is in post-production at the moment. Through making films, he began to work on costumes, which allowed him to explore textiles, silhouettes and gender.
