Heeyoung Noh

Heeyoung Noh is a mixed-media artist who explores colonial trauma and diaspora by reproducing body images from South Korea. She received a B.A. from Sungshin Women’s University in Seoul in 2019 and an MFA at the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow in 2024. Her practice entails a critical perspective toward very private body feelings and diasporic identity as an Asian and Korean woman. Throughout the creative practices, which are about the journey of finding the collective identity in the domestic place, the shower room facilitates tracing the colonial vestige inscribed on the skin.

As an artist, Heeyoung had several group shows in South Korea. In 2021, she participated in an artistic project <DODODODUK> that was sponsored by the SFAC (Seoul Foundation for Art and Culture) and Seoul Artists’ Platform New&Young. Moreover, she is co-founder of an artist collective called LAG Collective, which is comprised of two artists and one curator.
