Grace Noh received her M.A. in Art History from New York University Institute of Fine Arts. Her curatorial practice revolves around translating the past and forming them into new ideas in the present and the future. She challenges and pushes the boundaries of viewing and understanding exhibition format to encourage greater discussion. She has curated and organized exhibitions, produced digital contents and published journals for a number of institutions, galleries and magazines, including Jimei x Arles International Photography Festival in Xiamen, China and upcoming exhibitions at Fotografiska New York. In addition, she co-founded MiA Collective Art, an art collective platform based in Beijing and New York.


Sora Woo is a visual artist and photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. Her works concentrate on observing the spatial relationship between humans and place. Woo is interested in discovering the threads of human interaction and what occurs after the absence of a person. Woo's photographs capture a moment in the slow process of the passage of time. She not only depicts the passing of time, but also points out the physical and spiritual aspects of the “Irreversible”. Sora received her MFA from Pratt Institute, New York in 2018 and BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2015.
