Jaehun Park and 12 Other Artists Perhaps, All of Us

Perhaps, All of Us is a touring group exhibition organized by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) for Korea’s Touring K-Arts Project, brought to Washington, D.C. by the Korean Cultural Center Washington (KCCDC). The exhibition reflects on how people form relationships and coexist in a world shaped by intersecting, diverse life conditions and experiences. Conceived in Seoul and traveling to Washington, D.C. and Ottawa, it focuses on the shared spatial identity of these capital cities, drawing out three thematic axes: publicness, historicity, and diversity. As centers of politics and administration and as sites where multiple cultures converge, these cities accumulate collective memory and identity even as their boundaries are continually drawn and redrawn. The exhibition examines these themes in a Korean context and through the eyes of visionary artists. It is structured in three parts: Part 1 (Our Unknown Country) explores publicness by examining how we perceive and relate to one another, looking at the subtle thresholds where “us” and “not us” are defined and where exclusion and hospitality intersect; Part 2 (Time Out of Bounds) calls forth times forgotten or silenced, querying how the present has been shaped through layers of accumulation and omission, inviting a renewed understanding of the present and encouraging a historical view of the future; and Part 3 (Perhaps, All of Us) confronts unfamiliarity and differences within layers of publicness and historicity, seeking possibilities for coexistence grounded in the diversity each of us carries. Through contemporary Korean art, the exhibition illuminates the intersection of individual experiences and social contexts, prompting a reconsideration of the norms and boundaries often taken for granted. The narratives extend beyond any single region, resonating with situations we all face today, and aim to foster empathy that can expand into solidarity.
