My name is UB (Youbi), a visual artist, community arts coordinator and workshop teacher. In my creative practice I predominantly use printmaking skills such as stencil, woodcut and digital media. I have learned these skills at Chugye University of Arts. Since moving to Australia, I have facilitated printmaking workshops for broader community and participatory art projects.
