”Every(body) Is Enough”, a solo exhibition from Jun Yang.

Through figurative painting, soft sculpture, and ceramics, Yang explores embodiment, belonging, and radical self-acceptance. Centering queer and gender-diverse bodies of color, the work challenges dominant ideals of beauty and identity—offering care and intimacy as acts of resistance and healing.

“This show is a love letter to the body I once tried to hide, to the self I was taught to be ashamed of, and to the city that helped me become whole,” says Yang. “It’s for every queer and immigrant youth searching for a place where they feel seen and deeply loved.”

Drawing on their experience as a queer immigrant, Yang’s work reflects the journey of unlearning shame, navigating displacement, and reclaiming joy. Interactive textiles and fragile ceramics invite vulnerability, connection, and rest—embracing imperfection and fluidity as powerful forms of defiance.

”Every(body) Is Enough” OPENS at loom + ten JULY 25, 2025; we look forward to seeing you all at the opening reception from 6:00–8:00 PM. Admission is free and open to the public.

Jun Yang (b. Seoul, South Korea) is a self-taught artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, murals, and textile sculpture. Drawing from personal experiences of trauma, migration, and the queer immigrant journey, Yang’s work explores identity, belonging, and healing.

Having lived in Ireland, Belgium, and France before settling in San Francisco, Jun’s art reflects both dislocation and resilience. Their interactive textile sculptures—meant to be touched and held—evoke care, connection, and protection, often balancing themes of isolation and communal strength.

Jun’s work is both personal and political, rooted in advocacy for LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights, and inspired by the solidarity they’ve found in San Francisco.
