Hwa Young Jung is a socially engaged artist working in the arts, cultural and sciences, facilitating collaborative projects and workshops. She works with people to co-create projects, often using games and play to explore social issues. Based in the Northwest (of England) she has been producing work with a range of people (care workers, microbiologists, young people excluded from mainstream education, men on probation) in England and internationally for almost ten years.

She has worked with Universities (Lancaster, LJMU, MMU) and cultural institutions (FACT Liverpool, Metal Culture, In-Situ, International Slavery Museum) to create a mixing ground for diverse disciplines and divergent communities to come together and make something new.

She received her MA from Ravensbourne College in Interactive Digital Media in 2005, worked for design agency Amoeba in Seoul, Korea for three years before that, and got a BFA from Parsons School of Design, NY in Communication Design in 2000.
