Responding to Racism Through Visual Art

Where are you from? Do you eat kimchi every day? What Asian are you? These are all things Phoebe is asked on a regular basis, and she has used these daily racist remarks to inspire and title her incredible thought-provoking paintings. Phoebe Kim is a Korean-Australian visual artist currently residing in Berlin. Her works are inspired by personal encounters and conversations that reflect on discrimination, racism and question self-identity. In this episode we talk about how everyday racism has become the norm for Phoebe and how she responds to that through her art, what it’s like to move to a brand new city on the other side of the world to pursue a creative dream, and ways that Phoebe is making her art accessible for everyone - including her "Art To-Go" series of art works on coffee cups!
