Dongwon Esther Kim

After my BA and BFA studies combining art history, medieval studies, and scenography at Ryerson University and University of Toronto, I spent 3 years in the UK where I worked for the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds, and the Reluctant Internationalists research group at Birkbeck College, University of London. Along with my studies in medieval art and public engagement I practice fine art.
