Contemporary Art Projects

Founded in New York 2013, Korea Art Forum (KAF) is led by artists, scholars, and peacemakers committed to bridging the world through art, serving to advance indispensable values of art’s connectivity, relevance, and equity to create a peaceful world and enhance people’s quality of life and well-being. KAF’s goals are to stem root causes of inequality found in the contemporary art field and promote

an eco-human-centric framework of art as a social product of public engagement that enables the creation of a peaceful world of coexistence, cooperation, and shared prosperity. Operating at the intersection of the visual arts and humanities, KAF annually produces interrelated projects—Commissions, Exhibitions, Forums, and Publications—to bring together all people from the art world and beyond to share dialogues, serving to build an interconnected peaceful world and support inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.

Korea Art Forum is proud to announce the invitees of the 2026 Shared Dialogue, Shared Space (SDSS) program.

Artists Kelly Han, Sohhee Oh, Lucia Warck-Meister, and Mashyat Zaman were selected through an open call in 2025, with guest advisor Ninad Pandit, an architect, urban planner, and historian of modern South Asia at Cooper Union.

The 2026 SDSS artists will share their work over 10 public engagements around New York City, traveling to Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Brooklyn from May to September of 2026.

Each artwork will evolve through direct community engagement. Ground drawings, collaborative sculptures, puzzle paintings, and digital installations will reflect the accumulated contributions of many participants, highlighting the social and iterative nature of the projects.

Their works will culminate in an indoor exhibition and individual public art installations across New York City.

SDSS is an ongoing series of outdoor participatory art events held at accessible community hubs in immigrant neighborhoods around New York City.

SDSS offers residents and visitors the unique opportunity to engage directly with artists and work with them to develop projects that address issues of language, identity, migration, conflict, and cultural production – key issues that define the experience of New Yorkers.
