Ambassador of India to the Republic of Korea, Kumar Amit, expressed appreciation for KICAA’s sustained efforts in fostering artistic partnerships. He emphasized that platforms such as these not only provide avenues for creative exploration but also help build mutual cultural understanding.
“Such exchanges not only enable artists to share their creative pursuits but also personal narratives and promote better understanding of each other’s culture,” the Embassy wrote on X.
Shin Ha-soon, president of KICAA, underlined the importance of international artistic collaboration, stating that the exhibition would serve as a “meaningful bridge” between the Korean and Indian contemporary art scenes.
Complementing the visual art on display, the programme also featured a Kathak dance performance by the SVCC’s Kathak teacher and students, adding a classical Indian dimension to the contemporary setting. The ceremony was attended by participating artists, members of the Indian and Korean cultural communities, and other friends of India.
Located in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, SVCC was established in July 2011 and is operated by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR). It serves as the cultural wing of the Indian Embassy, promoting bilateral cultural linkages through art exhibitions, dance and music workshops, Hindi language courses, Indian cuisine demonstrations, and film screenings across South Korea.
The exhibition will remain open to the public through Aug. 10.
