About me

Kahyun Lee is an independent curator and a researcher who approaches curating as a critical practice and an alternative knowledge production beyond the visual arts. Driven by an interest in structural conditions and their relation with cultural forms, Lee’s practice questions the structures such as national borders, identity and physicality. Through the language of exhibitions and programmes, Lee aims to reflect on the past, examine the present and reimagine the future. 

Lee is a doctoral researcher at the Royal College of Art London and Tate Modern researching transnational curating and narratives of Asian contemporary art. Lee previously curated exhibitions and programmes at the Design Museum London, the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan and the British Library.
