Welcome to my website! This is a portfolio of my public history projects.
about
My name is Kyu Lee, and I am an educator and historian living in Denver, CO. I graduated with a B.A. in History and Asian American studies from Pomona College in 2023.Since 2020, I've been sharing history through infographics, poetry, zines, and other creative mediums. For me, artistic formats can convey history in a more personal and engaging way.I specialize in projects on Asian/Korean diasporic history in the U.S. I am passionate about Asian American histories because I believe our communities have diverse and meaningful stories to share. My goal is to highlight the creativity, the resistance, and especially the people embedded in our histories.Thank you for visiting, and I hope my work speaks to you!
