Ambassador’s Remarks

Chang Jae-Bok highlighted the exhibition’s role in promoting cultural exchanges and strengthening ties between India and Korea. He praised the efforts and creativity of the participating artists.

“The exhibition has been organised by Korea-India Contemporary Artist Association. It truly celebrates long-standing collaboration to promote cultural exchanges and strengthen the ties between India and Korea,” Chang said at the opening ceremony. “I want to commend all the efforts…all the talented Indian, and Korean artists who have contributed with their incredible artworks in this exhibition. Your creativity…captures the profound relationship between our two countries,” he added.

Indian Artist’s Perspective

An Indian artist at the event mentioned that the aim of the exhibition is to convey a message of cultural development between the two countries, rather than selling the artworks.
