Values of creating safe space

Artist: Haerim Lee

Originally from South Korea, Chicagoan Rim Lee’s art stimulates dialogue with communities through painting, public murals, artist books, and photography. Ethnographic research informs her practice as she investigates the history of an architectural site–such as the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, Cabrini Green, or the murals on the South Side of Chicago or in Gary, IN–and translates that into her studio practice.
