Jija Sohn (JPN/KOR) is an artist based in Amsterdam. In 2015 Jija graduated from the SNDO (School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam) and was selected for the Moving Forward Trajectory – residency project that supports the upcoming artists. In 2017 she was awarded with the ‘3Package Deal’ by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst. 2019-2021, she was supported by DansBrabant and had an opportunity to re-think her practice from a fundamental base, and started focusing her practice on wellbeing, care and the fullness of life. From rethinking her artistic roots and starting from the principles of care, she decided to also start working as a caregiver. This side job (as a caretaker) is a mirror to how we are in daily life and at work as artists – shaping our relationships with friends, family members and with ourselves, with systems, beliefs and cultural values.
