Keumhwa Kim (born in South Korea) is a Berlin-based curator working between Berlin, Busan, and Seoul. She studied Art History at Technische Universität Berlin, where she completed her MA with a thesis on Garden Staging in Installation Art: Eliasson, Ondak, Broodthaers.

Her practice engages the ecologies of liminal spaces and post-migrant narratives through ecofeminist and posthuman perspectives on the entanglement of human and non-human agents. Working across institutions, historical sites, galleries, and public space, she develops interdisciplinary and collaborative formats at the intersection of art, science, and society. She approaches curating as a laboratory for hybrid communities amid social, ecological, and cultural transformation.

Her projects have been presented in numerous institutions and public spaces across Berlin, Seoul and Busan. Recent projects include serving as Artistic/Co-Artistic Director of the Sea Art Festival 2025 (Busan Biennale) with the exhibition Undercurrents: Waves Walking on the Water (2025), Echoes of Gaia (The Page Gallery, 2025), Nägel — Sonya Schönberger (St. Matthäus Church, 2025), and the exhibition series Speaking to Ancestors (including projects at Silent Green, Transmediale Studio, Zwingli-Church and the Wasser­speicher, Berlin, 2023–24). In 2023, she curated Kimsooja – (Un)folding Bottari at Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Ethnologisches Museum (Humboldt Forum) and Das Dritte Land at Kulturforum Berlin (2019-2022), and Petersburg, Kunsthalle Erfurt (2022- present)

Kim serves on the board of Art4Biodiversity uG, is a research member of Getbol Lab, and is a recipient of the 2024 Artistic Research Fellowship from the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
