Chung Park is an artist, educator, and arts-based researcher with an MFA in Art from the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. His work explores the connections between family, food, and memory. He looks to food as a medium to critically engage with questions of identity, home, and place-making to examine how race, colonialism, and diaspora shape his existence. Through his collective art + food project, Food Dialogues, he centers food as a site of resistance and healing.

Park completed his BFA from Boston University and has showcased his work nationally and internationally. In 2023, his performance, Gimjang_김장:, was part of the INVERSE Performance Art Festival at The Momentary at The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. 

He gave a lecture-performance based on his thesis paper, Memories of Gimjang_김장: & Performance as the Practice of Freedom, at the 2024 Theatre & Performance Research Association (TaPRA) conference at Northumbria University (Newcastle, UK), where he received a bursary award.

He is a member of GYOPO, a coalition of diasporic Korean artists, curators, writers, cultural producers, and art professionals based in Los Angeles.
