JENA JANG

is a multimedia artist who was born in Seoul in South Korea, and is currently based in Prague, Czech
Republic. She received her BFA in Animation from Hong-Ik University, Se-Jong, South Korea and her MA
in Visual Art from the Academy of Art, Architecture, Design in Prague. She pursues her PhD in Time-based
media at University of Jan Evangelista Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. She has been teaching at University
of Jan Evangelista Ústí nad Labem and has done a workshop at Prague City University. Her diploma film
‘Eternity(2018)’ was screened at over fifty different film festivals worldwide and got two awards from
Mladá kamera Uničov in the Czech Republic and Dolgoji Experimental Shorts in Seoul, South Korea.

As a performance artist, she participated in artist residencies in Zaratan - Arte Contemporânea in Lisbon in
Portugal and Konvent Zero in Cal Rosal in Spain. In Prague, 2021, her performances were presented at the
Performance Crossing International Festival at Šachta gallery, Prague Biennale - Reconnect Art, Tibet open
house, NGO DEI and in 2022, Pragovka gallery.

At three years old, she started drawing and painting and it helped her to overcome depression. She often
draws supernatural creatures, imaginary nature, and abstract patterns. She has a great interest in spirituality
in art, which led her to study about primitive art, Art Brut and shamanism. Having researched Shamanism
ritual, her recent works illustrate energy transformation from negativity to positivity through body
movements and experimental music - it also is to regenerate the ancient art into contemporary one.
