About

Hojin Im (Yoyojin) is an artist working across illustration, painting, animation, AI, sound, and live performance, and founder of Art Space Border. His practice explores the relationship between images and peace, examining how individuals sense and experience complex political and social structures in everyday life.

In 2010, he moved to Zambia through UNESCO(KNCU), where he spent nearly a decade engaged in community-based cultural initiatives. Living closely with local communities, he collaborated with young people on participatory filmmaking projects, using art as a medium through which their stories could be shared. As a member of the Zambian artist collective ART4ART, he also contributed to the production of video and animation works aimed at raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.
