#1332: Listening for Learning in Students’ Art from a Children’s Hospital School

Ji Yoon Chung is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher pursuing a PhD in Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University and a Visiting Assistant Professor in the University of New Mexico Art Department. As a visual art educator in a children’s hospital, her research explores how arts education can be meaningfully integrated into hospital school settings through inclusive and adaptive approaches that respond to the changing needs of pediatric patients. Her studio practice investigates how fleeting and immaterial experiences can be translated into tangible forms. Working across drawing, photography, sculpture, and digital fabrication, she often dissolves ink from printed photographs to evoke the erosion of memory and the emergence of new meanings. Chung holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, an Ed.M. from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a BFA from Seoul Women’s University. Her work has been exhibited in Providence, Boston, Reykjavík, and Seoul.
