The art collective Corooted, established in Paris, is showcasing the Indigenous Buryad, Sakha, Oirad-Kalmyk, and Korean artists in its inaugural Korea exhibition. Titled "Tactics for Survival in Uncertainty (…)," the display will be held at KOTE in Seoul's Insa-dong district from August 22-29. The artists, predominantly students or recent graduates from art institutions and residing overseas, have collaborated for over three years, forming a curatorial platform committed to promoting Indigenous artists across Eurasia.
Their exhibitions and collaborative projects delve into themes such as identity, memory, migration, language, and contemporary societal issues. Previously exhibited in France, Corooted now brings its project to Korea, focusing on the everyday rituals and personal strategies individuals employ to regain a sense of control. Nastya Komarova, a Seoul-based curator and participating artist, has long considered art a means to bridge geographical, cultural, and emotional distances.
