Elisabete Yoon Ju Seonwoo, also known as Kerberus (they/she), is an alumnus with a Bachelor's in Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her focus on exploring the artistic language of liberation in art & technology and mixed new media dance performances is a journey that navigates her emotions and experiences living as a woman of color in a digital space. By archiving her body movements with a 3D motion capture suit and virtual reality, she creates the mind palace that allows her to be an authentic self, ultimately breaking frames that box [her]. Also, the artist is one of the founder members of the Chicago Krump dance collective, Chibuck. She holds Krump as a creative language to inspire and empower others in the Chicago dance and art community to spread positive impacts along with the collective.
