Sohyun “Jen” Yoon

Sohyun "Jen" Yoon is a full-time overthinker, part-time oversharer, and a lifetime inbetweener, whose research stems from personal motivations and inquiries on navigating late capitalist demands such as productivity, individuality and beauty standards as a person with mental illness.

In Do-It-Together Strategy Wear: Care to Resist, Sohyun "Jen" Yoon suggests an affirmative alternative in practising care for the self and others through DIY garment-making and community-building. Inspired by the suffragettes' aprons and women's tie-on pockets, Yoon reimagines aprons with pockets as a tangible expression of care from an intersectional feminist perspective.

Strategy Apron serves as a means of subversion, care, and empowerment, encapsulating the fluidity and adaptability within our pockets and complex identities, celebrating and expressing feminist identity, creativity, and autonomy. The garments symbolise personal and collective narratives of care, as they embody each wearer's challenges, capabilities, and resilience, highlighting individuals' diverse needs and wants.
