Longing to Belong

Issue 4 – Transnational Editions

In Issue 4, we celebrate visual art’s potential to spark emancipatory possibilities in the lives of Korean transnational artists. For the ten artists in this edition, the performative and material nature of art has enabled them to problematize, blur and transcend the boundaries of belonging. By interweaving diverse intercultural experiences into their works, they reveal hybrid streams of consciousness and invite the viewer into a collection of unique journeys of discovery. I would like to ask you to immerse in the stories of their surroundings and connect with the deeply personal, multilayered, and dynamic flow of their daily lives on the move. Indeed, it is my sincere hope that this edition will resonate with anyone who has found themselves away from home, amplifying marginalized voices, and spreading a sense of hope and possibility to those of us who quite simply long to belong.
