New logo. New possibilities. The primary logo (pictured top) will be on the majority of the Museum’s public-facing content. However, the Programs Department and Museum Store will use a series of secondary, stylized logos (pictured above). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6d6835703115717c2d1326/1601092307099-VO3T6PCMPNM37ED7VC9N/A010115-Museum-of-Red-River-Render-scene1_Web.jpg Writing - New building.

I’m a Korean American writer whose work focuses on politics and policy, art, video games, and identity — sometimes all at once. My work has appeared in Western City magazine, Cal Cities Advocate, Crocker Art Museum, The Gamer, Unwinnable, whynow Gaming, and a few other places. I’m currently the managing editor for the League of California Cities’ online publications, where I focus on some of the most pressing issues facing California, such as a lack of affordable housing and climate change. Before that, I spent most of my career in the art world and occasionally relapse by ruminating about the intersection of identity, pop culture, and video games. I use my writing to elevate and amplify the work of others — especially those in or from marginalized spaces.
