Intersecting Identities, Lives: Perhaps, All of Us exhibition comes to Washington D.C. courtesy of Korea’s Touring K-Arts Project and the Seoul Museum of Art The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (KCCDC) proudly presents Perhaps, All of Us, a new touring exhibition of acclaimed contemporary art organized by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) for Korea’s Touring K-Arts Project, on view June 17 to August 11. Conceived in Seoul and presented as a traveling exhibition in Washington, D.C. and Ottawa, Perhaps, All of Us examines the shared sense of place between these capital cities. It explores key themes of publicness, historicity, and diversity through the lens of contemporary Korean art and the eyes of visionary artists Park Chan-Kyong, Jungwon Phee, Gala Porras-Kim, Im Youngzoo, Young-jun Tak, Lee JeeYang, Jung Yeondoo, Eunu Lee, Ayoung Kim, Jaehun Park, Park Hyesoo, Jisun Shin, and Shin Mi Jung. Capitals function not only as political, administrative, and cultural centers, but also as spaces where diverse identities, memories, and relationships intersect. They also evolve as urban environments shaped by the accumulation of countless individual lives and experiences. Within this context, Perhaps, All of Us reflects on how we perceive and relate to one another, including which memories and values are preserved or excluded in society. The 13 participating artists explore the intersection of personal experience and social reality through a wide range of media and perspectives. Their works reveal the norms and boundaries formed within urban spaces, the relationships between communities and others, and the emotions and memories often overlooked in everyday life. In doing so, the exhibition moves beyond individual or regional narratives to raise universal questions that resonate with contemporary audiences. Perhaps, All of Us is organized into three thematic sections. Part 1, Our Unknown Country, examines publicness through the dynamics of exclusion and hospitality
