The Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, with support from the Seoul Arts Center and Hyosung, announced on October 15 that it will host the disability arts exhibition 'Dalí·Differently·Dalí' from October 30 to November 15 at the 7th Exhibition Hall of the Hangaram Art Museum in Seocho-dong.
This exhibition features six artists from the 2026 Seoul Disability Arts Creation Center: Kim Mi-young, Kim Seung-hyun, Seo Eun-jung, Shim Kyu-cheol, Wi Hye-seung, and Lim Jae-hyun. Each artist presents their unique artistic language, reflecting their individual experiences and perspectives on the world.
The exhibition begins with self-portraits from the six artists, answering the questions, 'How have I seen myself?' and 'How has the world seen me?' through their respective artistic expressions.
In the exhibition, visitors will encounter Kim Mi-young's work, which depicts the passage of time through colored pencil lines stacked like knitting; Kim Seung-hyun's utopia featuring deep blue seas and unfamiliar life forms; Seo Eun-jung's landscapes where small beings coexist with nature; Shim Kyu-cheol's world blending history, fantasy, reality, and science fiction; Wi Hye-seung's pieces that carve out themes of injury and recovery using stone powder and glue; and Lim Jae-hyun's visual representation of the overlap between figures and spaces.
The Seoul Disability Arts Creation Center, which has expanded the sustainable spectrum of disabled artists from creation to fruition, is now in its fourth year of co-hosting this exhibition with the Seoul Arts Center. Over the past three years, more than 25,000 visitors have attended the exhibition.
Song Hyung-jong, CEO of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, expressed hope that this exhibition will serve as a platform to discover the diverse expressions and perspectives within the realm of disability arts. He added, 'We will continue to support opportunities for disabled artists to create and connect with more audiences.'
The exhibition is free to the public, open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (closed on Mondays). It enhances accessibility with large print brochures, color-correcting glasses, sign language interpretation, and tactile experiences through 3D reliefs. Additionally, docent-led tours will be available every Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. without prior registration.
