Doyun Kim

Doyun Kim is a Korea Foundation curatorial intern in Arts of Asia and an master’s candidate in art history at Seoul National University. With a bachelor’s degree in Asian history and art history, Doyun currently studies 17th-century European art with a focus on artistic exchanges between Asian and European cultures. While her thesis examines the dynamic relationship between Spanish painting and Italian sculpture, she is broadening her academic interest to the circulation of East Asian art as a new luxury in 17th-century Europe and Latin America. As a student intern in the Korea Foundation Global Challengers Program, Doyun will work under the mentorship of Yeonsoo Chee, associate curator of Korean Art, conducting research on objects in the Korean collection within the transnational context of East Asia.
