Kate Oh Gallery is pleased to present Inner routes: cartographies of becoming, an invitational group exhibition on view from March 4 through March 14, 2026, featuring twenty contemporary Korean-American artists from the Greater Washington, D.C. area. The exhibition explores the inner journeys that shape individual and collective identities, tracing the evolving “cartographies of becoming” that emerge from each artist’s lived experience.
Through a diverse array of media—including sixteen paintings and five sculptural works—Inner routes invites viewers to encounter how personal histories, diasporic memory, and cultural transformation are mapped in visual form. Each work serves as a navigation point, marking introspective paths that traverse belonging, displacement, and renewal within the ever-shifting terrain of Korean-American identity.
The exhibition’s artists, working across abstraction and representation, engage themes of transformation, hybridity, and inner dialogue. Together, their works uncover how processes of migration and self-discovery inform creative practice, constructing intimate yet collective topographies of selfhood.
