Project Introduction

A Korea–United Arab Emirates (UAE) Co-Curated Exhibition project presented by <2025 Kore∙A∙Round Culture> had been held at The Seoul Museum of Art. The Seoul Museum of Art, which has shared artistic practices responding to contemporary history and society since 2002, and the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF), founded in 1996, come together to present Korea’s first large-scale joint contemporary art exhibition. ADMAF has fostered global intercultural dialogue while generating renewed interest in creativity from the UAE and the wider Arab world. 

This exhibition is the second collaborative project following the Korean Contemporary Art Exhibition held in Abu Dhabi from May to June, marking a full-fledged intersection of artistic discourse between the two countries. 

The exhibition runs from December 16 to March 29, 2026, on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Seosomun Main Building at the Seoul Museum of Art.
