Keumhwa Kim (born in South Korea) is a Berlin-based curator working between Berlin, Busan, and Seoul. Holding an MA in Art History from Technische Universität Berlin, she wrote her master’s thesis on Garden Staging in Installation Art: Eliasson, Ondak, Broodthaers.

Her practice focuses on the ecologies of liminal spaces and post-migrant narratives, drawing on ecofeminist and posthuman perspectives on the entanglements of human and non-human agents. She develops interdisciplinary, collaborative formats at the intersection of art, science, and society—across institutions, historical sites, galleries, and the public realm—and understands curating as a laboratory for hybrid communities in times of 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.
