Why it matters now

This emerging-artist exhibition opened on October 28, 2026 and runs through November 22. Its viewing hours differ from neighbouring gallery rooms.

Building new layers on a historic fibre

Kim Nayeon is a textile artist trained in Hansan ramie weaving, an important Korean heritage craft. Her KCDF emerging-artist exhibition, 'Layer by Layer,' experiments with the thickness and colour of ramie threads, other materials and the density of warp and weft. The work considers ramie as a living material for contemporary life, not simply a historical summer cloth.

Where and when

The exhibition is open October 28–November 22, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at KCDF Window Gallery, 8 Insadong 11-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, with free admission. Other exhibitions in the building may close earlier; do not assume all galleries share the window-gallery hours.

Details to notice

Look for how different colours and fibres meet, how thread density changes a surface and how traditional weaving techniques can be adapted for present-day objects.

What we're seeing

The exhibition asks how a craft survives as something people continue to use, not only something they preserve.

What we still don't know

No separate workshop schedule, booking rules or live visitor-capacity information were confirmed from the official notice.
