About me

Park Hye-in is a curator and researcher based in Berlin and Seoul. Through her curatorial work and scholarly research, she examines contemporary art from East Asia within its socio-political conditions, analyzing how the relationship between art and power is shaped through hegemonic processes including institutions, cultural policies, legal frameworks, and discourse formations. Her research aims to understand the structural conditions that frame artistic production and to critically situate contemporary art within broader configurations of social and political power.

Building on this analytical foundation, she explores collectives and community-based practices as significant modes of artistic and social intervention. Rather than treating collectives merely as collaborative formats, she approaches them as organizational and political strategies that emerge from—and respond to—the structural environments in which contemporary art operates. Her interest lies in how collective practices generate new forms of agency, shared authorship, and critical imagination within shifting institutional and geopolitical landscapes.

Hye-in is the co-founder of Ama-gum, an independent publishing collective, and a member of the Asian Feminist Studio for Art and Research (AFSAR). Through these platforms, she develops transnational, feminist, and research-driven projects that experiment with collaborative knowledge production and the possibilities of collective work in contemporary art.
