In;Between Artistry was born out of my own searching. As a Korean adoptee, I have lived much of my life in the in-between; between the family I was born to and the one that raised me, between cultures and languages I carry but don’t fully own, between the ache of loss and the longing for belonging. For years, I tried to make sense of these contradictions. Eventually, I realized they weren’t something to fix. They were the very ground of who I am.

This practice grew from that realization. In;Between Artistry is my way of weaving together artistry, healing, and identity as inseparable parts of being human. Rooted in the Korean concepts of In (self), Yun (art–life harmony), and In-Yun (fateful connection), it holds the truth that art is not just expression—it is memory, reclamation, and possibility.

What began as my own attempt to return to myself has become an offering to others. A place where we can honor our complexity, reconnect with what was forgotten, and find beauty in the in-between.

At In;Between Artistry, our mission is to create transformative artistic experiences that illuminate identity, nurture belonging, and move us toward collective liberation. Through artistry, healing practices, and cultural storytelling, we uplift voices that live in the in-between.

We do this by navigating ethnic and cultural identities through workshops and circles that help individuals reclaim and embody their backgrounds with dignity. We nurture artistic exploration that reflects lineage, intersectionality, hybridity, and healing. We build community by cultivating spaces of genuine connection, dialogue, and mutual care across differences.

Our work also centers educational empowerment, sharing knowledge, frameworks, and ancestral wisdom that link self to society. We uplift voices at the intersections of race, gender, migration, class, and spirituality, and we promote social justice by using creativity as a tool for anti-racist, decolonial, and liberatory work. Rooted in the local yet reaching globally, we bridge diasporic stories and foster cross-cultural collaboration in both embodied and digital spaces.

Through these commitments, In;Between Artistry is not just an arts platform—it is a practice of remembrance, restoration, and radical becoming.

Before there is art, there is the human being.

At In;Between Artistry, our work moves through three interwoven pathways: In (인), the quiet ground of knowing yourself and reclaiming identity; Yun (연), the harmony between life and art where creation emerges from the fullness of living; and In-Yun (인연), the unseen threads of connection that shape our relationships, communities, and encounters across a lifetime.

Sometimes the work begins in In, as self-awareness deepens into belonging. Sometimes it blooms in Yun, when identity meets artistry and creation becomes voice. Sometimes it flows through In-Yun, when art and community transform one another. And at times, all three meet at the center—when who we are, what we create, and how we connect are inseparable.

This is the practice of In;Between Artistry: living, creating, and connecting as the art of being human.

Art is more than a product.

It’s a process. A portal. A possibility.

We define art as a sacred act that expresses conceptual ideas, technical skill, ancestral memory, and emotional truth. It is created to be felt. To be witnessed. To be held in the body and remembered in the soul.

Art, for us, is an offering—and an opening.

In;Between Artistry is for the seekers.

The artists, healers, educators, cultural workers, and truth-tellers who exist in the liminal spaces—between cultures, languages, identities, homes, and histories.

It is for those who crave a community where they don’t have to shrink, simplify, or separate parts of themselves to belong.

Whether you are returning to your roots, reclaiming your voice, or reimagining the future—this is a space to be held. To be seen. To be whole.
