Biography
Grace Euna Kim is a transdisciplinary artist, choreographer, researcher, and pedagogue based in Berlin. Drawing from psychoanalytic and critical theory, her practice examines ideology, political embodiment, and affect, with a focus on the blind spots between ethics and violence. Centering imagination as a political act, she explores the transformative potential of the encounter through site-specific performances and interventions that are immersed with the people—across public space, visual arts sites, performing arts stages, and radical education- and research-based formats. Through her long-term Acid Bodies research, she develops 360° choreopolitical approaches that unpack desire, systems of knowledge, and power, asking: How can we resolve sociopolitical violence, when we are ingrained in the mechanisms that reproduce it?
Euna holds an MA in Philosophy, Art, and Critical Thought from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. She has led seminars and workshops at institutions including MA Raumstrategien – Weißensee Kunsthochschule, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, and Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart. She has presented her work at the Seoul Museum; Schauspiel Leipzig; Frankfurt Lab; Haus der Statistik (Berlin); Museum of Nonconformist Art (St. Petersburg); WhiteBox (New York); and Blueproject Foundation (Barcelona). She has been awarded grants from the Nationales Performance Netz, Berliner Senat, Gwärtler Stiftung, and Fonds Darstellende Künste.
