[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]Rey Jeong, February 21, 2022[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Rey Jeong is a social practice artist and an activist who vocalizes racial, gender and social justice through creative practices. As a member of the diaspora, first generation immigrants, and women of color, Rey\u2019s work outlines interdisciplinary methods across languages, visual arts, and the Critical Race Theory for making liminal spaces to observe the intersections between race, gender, and storytelling. Rey earned her MFA at the University of Michigan and completed her BFA in animation at Sejong University in Seoul. Now, she is a Professor of Practice and IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) Generator at the School of Art and Design and Performing Art Division at Alfred University.<\/p>\n

Throughout her residency, Rey, experimented with different types of printmaking techniques for a project entitled “Periphery Vision”.\u00a0The project consisted of the following methods of print: woodcut, screen-print, mono-print and photogravure. Rey’s work featured five faculty of color\u2019s portraits and words that they want to shout to the world.<\/p>\n

Gathering all BIPOC faculty to one place through art is itself a part of my practice.<\/p>\n

In the show, I exhibited printmaking work during the iea Institute for Electronic Arts residency @alfred_iea<\/a>. I photographed faculty of color, including myself, and produced six different prints. Photo credit for my portrait Vivian Wang @caowang7720<\/a> (Rey Jeong)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
