Paris-based art collective Corooted is presenting an exhibition titled "Tactics for Survival in Uncertainty" in Seoul's Insa-dong neighborhood from August 22-29. The collective, founded in Paris, brings together Indigenous Buryad, Sakha, Oirat-Kalmyk and Korean artists from various countries including the Netherlands, France, Hungary, Mongolia and Korea.
These artists, mostly students or recent art school graduates, have been living away from their homelands for long periods and have been working together for over three years. They have established a curatorial platform dedicated to supporting Indigenous artists from Eurasia. Through exhibitions and collaborative projects, the collective explores themes such as identity, memory, migration, language and contemporary social realities.
Their exhibition in Seoul aims to delve into the everyday rituals and personal strategies that people develop to regain a sense of control. For Seoul-based curator and participating artist Nastya Komarova, art serves as a means to cross geographical, cultural and emotional distances.
