Yo-E Ryou: Why I Swim

Why I Swim is a bilingual artists’ book by Yo-E Ryou that traces her journey of learning to swim and dive with Jeju’s Haenyeo. Interweaving personal narrative and hydrofeminist thought, it explores breath, memory, and the intergenerational knowledge carried through water, with contributions by Astrida Neimanis, Chus Martínez, and others.
