김윤하 Yoonha Kim is an anthropologist exploring how local technics and heritage shape alternative worldings. Her background as a designer and her graduate studies in visual and media anthropology led her to deploy a range of multimodal forms of anthropology, including filmmaking and immersive fabulation workshops.
Her doctoral research ‘Wearing Salim, Worlding Hanbok’ explored ecological sensibility and diversifying technological imagination through wearing and making Korean sartorial heritage. Her current project on bar-tailed godwits (큰뒷부리도요, Kūaka, Cugerpak) looks into Korean tidal flats as sites of transnational heritage. Engaging with field-based methods, she explores how diverse beings attune to geomagnetic fields and sedimentary memory, approaching these as part of an expanded ecology of sensing.
She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at inherit. heritage in transformation, a new Centre for Advanced Study based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She is also an associate member at the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity.
