Open Studio Artist in Residence | Ahreum Lee

May 1 – June 5

We're so pleased to welcome our first Open Studio Artist in Residence of 2025, Ahreum Lee, who will be at Struts from May 1 –  June 5. Ahreum Lee is a musician and interdisciplinary media artist from Seoul, South Korea, currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She is interested in examining socio-political issues embedded in everyday technologies, such as Google Maps, Predictive Text Algorithms, and AI virtual assistant voices. She uses a range of media, including games, video, audio, performance, 3D-printing sculpture, 3D rendered images, and stock images from online and web art.

​While at Struts, Ahreum will be working on In the Name of the Moon, We Won’t Forgive It! , an AR game that transforms the struggles of microaggression into interactive storytelling and collective empowerment. Through game mechanics and community workshops, the project fosters solidarity by turning personal experiences into shared strategies for resistance. Learn more here.

Help us welcome Ahreum with a serving of tea and kombucha at Swap Meet Tuesday, May 6, 7pm.
