There are invisible boundaries that divide us,
such as nation, gender, generation, language, ability, and disability.
Yet some artists have crossed all of these lines to arrive here.
In celebration of the 2024–2025 Korea Canada Year of Cultural Exchanges,
an open call was held for disabled artists from both countries.
Ten artists selected from Korea and Canada came together to travel and present a joint exhibition.
This exhibition stands as both a pause in that shared journey and
a new beginning, an invitation to imagine what it means to travel across boundaries.
The experience of disability is never defined by a single aspect.
Experiences shaped by diverse physical conditions and environments
become unique ways of seeing and expressing the world.
Artists with various disabilities and cultural backgrounds explore
the possibilities of communication through the language of art,
and in doing so, confront the lines that divide us.
This exhibition does not simply expose those boundaries;
it highlights the new possibilities that emerge from the gaps between them.
Through these gaps, we can freely cross, shift,
and sometimes erase these boundaries,
creating new and different perspectives.
The ten artists with disabilities from Korea and Canada traveled across Canada
from late September to early October 2025,
holding exhibitions at major venues such as
arts Place in Canmore, Remote Gallery in Toronto, and Parliament Building in Ottawa,
before finally arriving at Modu Art Space in Seoul.
