What is on view?

2026 ACC Future Prize: Kim Young-eun, 'To Future Listeners: Traveling Sounds' runs September 3, 2026–February 14, 2027 in Composite Exhibition Hall 1, Culture Creation Center at the Asia Culture Center (ACC), Gwangju. It is free. The ACC Future Prize supports artists working across artistic disciplines; Kim is the second edition's selected artist.

Listening as historical experience

Rather than treating vision as the only channel through which we encounter history, Kim explores what sounds we hear and how listening is shaped by moving between places. Her work looks at language, music and everyday sonic events in relation to the historical experience of migration. The precise form of each installation and its visit length should be checked against exhibition-room guidance.
