 nd a 2021 Burke Prize Finalist\, combines sculpture and installation to co
 mment on colonialism’s lasting impact on the natural environment. By bri
 nging together historical material\, botanical research\, personal memorie
 s\, and poetic allusion\, she encourages audiences to deconstruct the past
  and reimagine the future. Dang was born in Honolulu and lives in Brooklyn
 .\n\nHeechan Kim applies traditional craft techniques in new contexts to r
 eimagine and explore outcomes\, and challenge craft’s visual potential. 
 During his residency at MAD\, Kim has continued his practice of reimaginin
 g traditional weaving practices using new materials. Kim is currently an a
 djunct faculty member of Parsons School of Design and the City College of 
 New York. He received an MFA in woodworking and furniture design from Roch
 ester Institute of Technology and a BFA in metal arts and jewelry from Seo
 ul National University.\n\nLuam Melake creates handwoven sculptures and fu
 rniture using innovative material combinations that reference her interdis
 ciplinary interests in craft\, industrial design\, fine art\, and architec
 ture. Melake’s handwoven sculptures explore how empathy can be experienc
 ed with objects that convey abstract emotional concepts through their mate
 rial compositions. During her residency at MAD\, Melake has worked on a se
 ries of mixed-media weavings that continue her exploration of materiality 
 as a language for communicating emotion. Melake received her BA from the U
 niversity of California\, Berkeley. She is a research fellow at Parsons Sc
 hool of Design.\n--\n\n\n\nPlease review our health and safety protocols b
