‘Invisible Bonds – 이음새…’ is an exhibition of paintings, tapestries, glass works, photographs, video art and poetry readings by Korean artists in London. Workshops in Korean music, dance and art will be given by specialists in the Daegum, the Kayagum, Korean traditional songs and percussion, Seon (or Zen) dance, calligraphy.
The ‘Invisible Bonds’ celebrated here are ties of friendship and culture. The Korean Artists Association UK was established in 1997. The members of the Korean Artists Association (KAA) are professional Korean artists who are resident in the UK as first or second generation migrants. Each of the individual artists has done much to represent and promote Korean cultural awareness given their identity as Koreans in Britain. But the KAA also includes associate members including non-Korean professional artists, and people associated with Korean art and culture here in London, especially. Hence the objectives of the Association are to develop the ‘Invisible Bonds’ of Korean cultural life in the UK as well as to promote the ties of friendship and culture between Korea and the UK.
All workshops are FREE; booking is required. For workshop bookings and general enquiries
