Art speaks any language

I am a North Korean refugee artist

I am studying English at Freedom Speakers International (FSI) because I would like to talk with people around the world about art. I have had many opportunities to discuss my artwork, but I need an interpreter. I would like to be able to talk with people directly.

I hope that my art can help contribute to increased understanding between South and North Koreans.

P.S. from FSI: For every 10,000 won you donate, FSI will send you a postcard featuring Sumin's artwork (there are 8 different postcards). We can ship them in South Korea without any shipping costs, but outside of South Korea you would need to cover shipping costs.

“North Korean artist pursues her dream”
The Korea Times, May 7, 2022

Eleven North Korean refugees have set up fundraisers supporting FSI. It is incredible because many of them had no concept of civil society before joining our organization. After studying with volunteers, many of them say they hope to volunteer one day.

Some of them even take that next step--fundraising for FSI!

Who are they? They include published authors, public speakers, human rights activists, YouTubers, and even a former doctor from North Korea.
