Dani Kim (b.1998) is a Seoul-based participatory project artist. She transforms fleeting encounters in daily life into “small greetings exchanged among strangers” and invites anyone to take part in this process. Her work explores the moments when individual stories gather, are shared, and ripple outward—expanding from the personal into the communal. Grounded in the belief that even the tiniest interactions can grow into experiences of warmth and connection, her practice turns everyday life into a space for gentle, human ties.

김다니(b.1998)는 서울을 기반으로 활동하는 참여형 프로젝트 예술가이다. 그는 일상 속 우연한 스침을 ‘서로가 서로에게 건네는 작은 인사’로 바꾸며, 누구나 이 과정에 함께할 수 있도록 초대한다. 사람들의 이야기가 모이고, 나누어지고, 번져가는 과정을 통해 개인이 공동체로 확장되는 순간을 탐구한다. 그의 작업은 스쳐 지나가는 일상을 따뜻한 연결의 장으로 확장할 수 있다는 믿음 위에 놓여 있다.
