Rooted in Art

Issue 6 – Transnational Editions

In Issue 6, we wander through the lives and works of ten transnational Korean creatives as they navigate the shifting landscapes of home and forage for a sense of belonging en-route. Rooted in themes of nature, this issue reveals Mother Earth’s capacity to mirror human emotions in migratory contexts, offering unique reflections on life’s fragility, cultural hybridity, and the interconnected paths so many artists tread. Blending traditional and contemporary techniques, their creations intertwine ecological consciousness with personal and collective histories, challenging essentialist views while celebrating individual creativity and human agency. Join us as we step into these meditative terrains, where art resists stereotypes, sows the seeds of empathy, and illuminates the enduring power of resilience across borders.
