Margaret Rhee: The Kimchi Poetry Project

Margaret Rhee is a new media artist and poet interested in extending poetry as a visual, technological, and tangible form. In her current project “The Kimchi Poetry Project,” Margaret explores the intersection between poetry, food, and technology. In this project she strives to create a poetry that is “free.”

Questions that inspire Kimchi Poetry Project:
1.How can poetry be participatory, feminist, and delicious?
2.What is the intersection of food, poetry, and technology?

Margaret will be sending out a call for paper’s sometime in March, so more details to come soon! Until then, please check out The Kimchi Poetry Project website for more information. You can also email Margaret at thekimchipoetryproject@gmail.com.
