December 2025
A special exhibition inviting audiences to experience Korean culture through media art is currently underway in Los Angeles, running through Dec. 31, 2025. Co-hosted by the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles and the LA Korea Center, the exhibition takes place across both venues.
Showcasing a total of twelve media artworks that embody Korean philosophy, aesthetics and spirit, the exhibition presents an immersive journey into Korean history and culture. By dynamically blending traditional Korean heritage with cutting-edge digital technology, it offers visitors an opportunity to explore Korea—no passport required.
At KCCLA’s Media Art Wall, visitors can experience “Traditional Korean Instruments,” “Feast of Color” and “Beyond Korean Folk Painting.”
At the LA Korea Center, visitors can explore a wide range of works, including “Play K-Music,” “Red Soul of Korea,” “Hello KCCLA,” “Lantern Festival,” “Whispers of Korea,” “Sense of Wonder,” “The Wind from the East,” “Timeless Legacy” and “The Drawing of Mother of Pearl Inlay Artisans,” each offering a unique lens through which to experience the essence of Korean culture.
The opening event drew around 100 local arts and culture professionals and visitors, with major media outlets such as the LA Times highlighting the exhibition. The exhibition drew enthusiastic reactions and strong praise on-site, reflecting broad excitement for this new mode of presenting Korean culture.
Going beyond conventional media art, KCCLA’s exhibition represents a bold experiment—one that fuses tradition and modernity, and blends art with technology to reimagine “Korean culture through media art.” Guests are invited not only to view Korea’s cultural heritage, but to step inside it and embark on an unforgettable sensory journey.
The exhibition is open Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and admission is free.
The Korean Cultural Center in Brazil officially opened Korean artist Lee Seungyoun’s solo exhibition “Floresta Invisível” at the Complexo Cultural Oswald de Andrade, located in São Paulo’s Bom Retiro district. Organized by KCC Brazil and curated by Seletivo.art and TRANSiPOT Art, the exhibition runs through Jan. 10, 2026.
This exhibition is part of the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil’s initiative to spotlight sustainability through art, timed with COP30, the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which focuses on strategies to slow climate change and strengthen global responses. Through this project, the Center seeks to demonstrate how art can serve as a meaningful catalyst for social reflection and transformation in an era defined by the climate crisis.
The exhibition was inspired by “Dear My Forest: Golden Mold” (Brazilian edition title: Floresta do mofo dourado), an illustrated book written and drawn by artist Lee Seungyoun. Centered on the values of circulation, regeneration, and coexistence, the show features immersive printworks and installation pieces that use forests and mushrooms as key motifs. Through these works, the artist explores the deep interdependence between humans and nature, proposing imaginative possibilities for coexistence and ecological restoration.
For the Brazil edition, new materials and participatory elements have been added, allowing visitors to become part of the imagery through interactions with light and reflective surfaces. Through these narrative layers, artworks, and spatial installations, audiences can visually and sensorially enter the world of the book and experience the artist’s intention to blur the boundaries between literature and visual art.
The exhibition is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is free.
