Bella Kim’s Jogakbo Art and Classes to Grace Arbutus this Spring
Bella Kim will lead a community workshop at Arbutus Folk School in 2026 inspired by the resourcefulness of Jogakbo and the practice of transforming leftover and discarded materials into new meaning. Her art is both delicate and large in scale. As you encounter her pieces, the myriad of brightly colored, intricately stitched pieces in swirling matrices envelope you in a light embrace, seemingly inviting you to dance with them. When you look closer they are made of sterner stuff, recycled woven plastic packaging with writings and messages therein tell of more serious environmental concerns, and bring us necessarily back down to earth again.
