I went to a Buddhist kindergarten when I was young.Even though my family was not Buddhist, the kindergarten was cheap and close. Most of the houses in Korea have Confucian-based traditions. On Buddha's birthday, I used to hold a row of events from the mountains with lanterns. Even though I was five years old, I had to constantly learn about mercy.

Grandfather and grandmother met in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do and got married. Their height difference was huge.

When I came to the Netherlands, I thought at first that I didn't belong to anything. The Korean people I met at school were just the same nationality and completely different personalities and thoughts from me. I often heard that "you are so different from ordinary Korean person"

I feel connected with a lot with people who draw in the Netherlands. Although we have different races and nationalities, we have the same hobbies and interests.

I came over to the Netherlands. I entered an art school and started studying, and I was able to find people similar to me in it. My creativity became richer and richer, and people often asked me if I had ADHD. Growing up in Korea, where there are few ADHD diagnoses, I wondered what it was.

In Korea, being unusual is considered a great disgrace, so people do not go to the psychiatrist, but keep it a secret even if they usually go.

I sometimes wondered why I couldn't accept the traditional way of education. I often thought I was stupid. But I was always a good writer or a good painter.

The picture I was in the Buddhism kindergarten.
When I grow up, my mom sent me there, because the price of tuition fee was cheap and the place was under the mountain.

I don't believe in any religion, but Buddhism influenced me a lot philosophically. I have learned to respect animals and people, and I think all lives should be respected.

As I said, I grew up in a Confucian family. I often thought about gender inequality. But most women just accepted this in the past even still now.

Only pictures of male ancestors' portraits were hung on the wall of my grandfather's house. And there were no pictures of women portraint. When I was young, I was anger about this and cried. Then, I could hung my picture on the wall, now all the pictures of my family are on the wall.

Maud Lewis (1901-1970) was born to John and Agnes Dowley on the Yarmouth and Acadian Shore of Nova Scotia.
She had been born with almost no chin and was always much smaller than everyone else. However, Maud seemed to be a happy child who enjoyed the time she spent with her parents and brother. Maud's mother started her painting Christmas cards to sell and thus her career as an artist began.

I grew up in the Neo- Confucianism family Suwon, South Korea. Then I was educated by the schools with oppression like school uniform, the limitation of hair style to be one of the group members. To fit into society, I lost myself and desired what I did not want.

As I came to the Netherlands, I recognized why I find that I always have* micro-aggression in my mind, it reveals to my art and perspective of view of society.
Through a self navigation project, I would like to navigate where my aggression is from, and how it formed. Deconstructing myself and identity as I am apart from my original surroundings(hometown, Korea). Then how I can deal with it in the Dutch society.

Microaggressions in Everyday Life
Door Derald Wing Sue, Lisa Spanierman

You may write me down in history
with your bitter, twisted lies,
you may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise
You may shoot me with your words,
you may shoot me with your words,
you may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
but still, like air, I will rise

--------
The term “microaggressions”was coined by African American psychiatrist and Harvard University professor Chestor Middleborrk Pierce in his work with Black Americans, He defined microaggressions as “subtle,stunning,often automatic, and nonverbal exchange which are ‘put-downs’ They also have been described as”subtle insults (verbal,nonverbal, and or visual) directed toward people of color often automatically or unconsciously”

Women and Confucianism in Choson Korea: New Perspectives
geredigeerd door Youngmin Kim, Michael J. Pettid /

According to existing interpretations, Confucianism had not only deprived women of their basic rights, but also promoted a strict social structure that was not conducive to the recognition of women’s talents or dignity.

White Inoccence(class material)
Paradoxes in White Dutch Self-Representation
In trying to capture some significant features of white Dutch selfrepresentation,
a good place to start is three paradoxes that immediately
present themselves to the eye of the outsider (within).4 The dominant and
cherished Dutch self-image is characterized by a series of paradoxes that
can be summed up by a general sense of being a small but ethically just nation
that has something special to offer to the world.

Covid-19 Fueling Anti-Asian Racism and Xenophobia Worldwide

Sinophobia
Sinophobia is fear or hatred towards China, Chinese at home and abroad and/or Chinese culture.

Racist harassment in this city was not as bad as that I had in London. However, soon
after arrival, I had to face locals saying ‘Ni-hao’ to me with a contemptuous tone. I felt
pretty insulted firstly because I wasn’t Chinese but they prejudged that I would be, and
secondly because the tone was unacceptably scornful.
(South Korean, M)

Strangers randomly saying ‘Ni hao’ to me because of my Chinese looks.
(EA Dutch, F)

To avoid prejudice, and also protect my feeling and my identity.
I think I should say I have more than my appearance. and My group decide to make clothes with Manifesto

Processes of prejudice:
Theory, evidence and
intervention :

What is prejudice?
The premise of this review is that, in general terms, prejudice needs to be viewed
as a process within a set of relationships, rather than a state or characteristic of
particular people.
That is, we need to understand the different forms prejudice might take, when it
might be expressed, and what factors promote or inhibit its expression. It is as
important to know about the conditions that give rise to, and can counter, prejudice,
as to measure the particular amount or virulence of prejudice at a particular time.

Self Navigation
infogrpahic

- I am willing to fight with system and stereotype.(Soyeon)

In the group, we have different opinions because this topic is personal and hard to connect each other as a team.

after we talked with Bibi, we decided to make same font on the same material screen print.
Manifesto can connect each other design

To me using red color was uncomfortable. This is because the red colour decided by other team member's string colours. When I wrote the "I'm Korean not chinese",
Red makes my design ironical. This is because Chinese national colour is Red and they only use all red on their design.
So I tried to connect with Blue and Red, which is Korean flag colour

During holiday, I went to Victoria's house to use sewing machine. We could find some possibilities of embroidery by using sewing machine

I already put all design layout on my shirts.
but i find just putting family pictures on shirts, too swallow and empty meaning to me.
Rather I didn't decide this method and also the project can't have any thing by putting just family historical pictures. This is because my manifesto was
"I'm willing to find parts of myself that I lost due to oppression and social prejudice."

I would rather put who I'm in front of shirt as illustration.Then I decide to build more sign that can have more meaning, also I can use drawings.

The Jeonju Lee clan (Korean: 전주 이씨; Hanja: 全州李氏) is a Korean clan with the surname Lee

This is my family name. When I bumped into random dutch tram worker, then they asked "my family name." When I said "Lee," Ahh you are "Bruce Lee" Lee"
then I have to say "I'm not chinese, I'm from different country"

So I put my family name is on my chest

ADHD
I find my ADHD in the Netherlands, this is because in Korea, people try to avoid meeting psychologist, even just ignore and neglect the issues. When I said to my Korean friend that I find my ADHD, people just said "no, you are not". but I would said ADHD is not like a children problem that you can see on media.

Soju is a korean alchol
I just find that is funny dutch people really like all different Asian foods but the generalizing Asian people as chinese person is daily life

“Dangunsinhwa ”is the first sovereignty myth in Korean mythology, which tells the story of the founding of Korea’s first kingdom Gojoseon.

The bear and tiger want to be a human and the god gave to them garlic. I though it is funny to put on my the symbols on my shirts.

As a I made one book about this story in NL.
