Ruth Minah Buchwald

is a Seoul-born writer, comedian, and performer from New Jersey. Her work navigates biracial identity, Korean and Korean American histories, shame, desire, humor, generational divides, and the internet. She has received support from the Sue-Je Lee Gage Sunlit Residency and Ma-Yi Theater Company.
