Social art projects that merge jewellery with global societal issues.
Seeun Kim: The Oxford Global Agenda Project 2026
Today, we live in a global society. Because our world is made up of many different kinds of people, Seeun Kim believes that an individual’s responsibility extends beyond themselves and includes their role within the wider community. The challenges faced by individuals, societies, and states differ depending on their cultural contexts and the institutions that shape them. In many ways, we may already think of the world as an international family or a community of global neighbours.
Seeun believes that the purpose of society is to help us grow, progress and find happiness. Inspired by this idea, she has created a range of social art projects that merge jewellery with global societal issues. Her work centres on jewellery and metal objects informed by the humanities and social sciences. Alongside these, she uses photography and film to express her ideas in the most inclusive ways possible—incorporating text, British Sign Language, and English braille.
I sincerely hope that my social art project becomes inclusive and accessible to everyone without barriers.
I want to convey a message of encouragement to everyone in the public who appreciates this work. “You have always done your best, and you will be able to bravely overcome any future hardships.”
She hopes her work offers viewers a moment for self-reflection and greater awareness. Through her practice, she communicates her thoughts with courage and imagines a society where everyone can live with a smile. Her projects have enabled her to engage with diverse audiences around the world.
On display are three projects:
Society Project – Our Life Arena | SEEUN-KIM
Garden Project – Our Diversity | SEEUN-KIM
Catch this at the Window Galleries from 23rd March - 30th April 2026
