This workshop invites queer and trans Asians to gather in a shared space of reflection, storytelling, and co-creation. Through conversation, participants will explore joy as an embodied practice—one that resists invisibility, honors our lineages, and reconnects us to each other.

Guided by the belief that joy is both a radical act and a communal inheritance, this workshop offers a space to rest, be seen, and imagine new ways of belonging together.

Wren Jung (they/he) is a queer and trans Korean American artist, guest curator of RIPE: Queer Asian Joy show in January, 2026 and interdisciplinary researcher based in the Pacific Northwest. Their creative practice moves between art, storytelling, and community work, exploring how joy, vulnerability, and ancestral memory shape the ways we come to know ourselves and one another.
