LINA CHANG is an audio documentarian and sound artist whose work centers around oral histories, family archives, and collective memory. She is the founder of Pansori Sound Studio, which continues the Korean tradition of collaborative storytelling that emphasizes the musicality of the human voice. Producing documentaries, radio, podcasts, print publications, mixtapes, sound baths, and sound-based installations, Chang invites her collaborators to share their personal history to uncover lost or forgotten fragments of cultural inheritance and ancestry.

She has produced podcasts and radio features for the BBC World Service, iHeartMedia, and Sony and led the oral history project,  Our Streets, Our Stories at the Brooklyn Public Library. For the British Library, she supported The Making of Black Britain, an oral history project founded by British journalist and presenter, Diane Louise Jordan, where the project featured a diversity of voices based on the question of what it means to be British today. Back at NPR, she trained as a sound archivist among an amazing team of librarians, historians, software engineers and archivists.
