About the Artist: Jun Yang, a self-taught artist from Seoul, now calls San Francisco home after 14 years. His paintings, murals and textile sculptures draw inspiration from his own experience, the city's rich cultural diversity and its supportive queer community. Jun combines his art with activism, reflects his personal journey and advocates for LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights by celebrating inclusivity and solidarity he’s found in San Francisco while exposing ongoing struggles.
