Woo Jin Joo (b. 1995, Korea; living in London) has been awarded the Founder's Prize for the Ingram Prize 2025. Her work, Ancestress, 2025, will be exhibited as part of the 2025 Ingram Prize Exhibition at Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop from 27 - 30 November.
Ancestress hangs by a pair of ceramic vines, this textile embroidery draws from themes of roots and lineage, embodying what we carry with us across generations: memory, protection, and transformation. Jin’s recurring motif of Chuang Tzu’s Butterfly Dream appears in the composition as not just a symbol of ephemerality, but of metamorphosis and continuity.
The Ingram Prize is generously supported by Rawlinson & Hunter.
