In-Between Artistry is a creative practice and collaborative learning space for people navigating identity, belonging, and the spaces between cultures, disciplines, and ways of being. Through cohort courses, workshops, residencies, and creative work, we hold creativity as a relational and healing practice rather than a productivity engine. This is a space to come home to yourself, reconnect with story, and belong without fragmenting who you are.
Our Story
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, until I understood they weren't something to fix. They were the very ground of who I am.
This practice grew from that realization. It 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 that art is not just expression; it’s 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.
Our Methodology
-
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
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.
-
IN is the practice of remembering. It begins with the truths we carry. Our identity, our ancestry, the stories we were given, and the ones we were never told. Before we can create or connect with others, we must return to ourselves.
-
YUN is the practice of translation. It honors the artist within each of us who has turned memory, longing, and lived experience into embodied creative work. Here, art is not performance. It is how we embrace what we have lived.
-
N-YUN is the practice of connection. It is the recognition that we do not return to ourselves alone that our stories are bound to others, across cultures, across time. This is where community, accountability, and belonging take root.
