Gyeongnam
Art Museum presents the group exhibition 《Something So Incredible》
until June 15.
This
exhibition explores how we perceive and respond to migration in today’s world
and reflects on how we should navigate the future. Migration entails various
forms of effort—more than just the physical movement of an individual. It
brings changes across multiple dimensions, including one’s upbringing, culture,
relationships, and societal roles.

Gyeongsangnam-do,
outside the Seoul metropolitan area, has the highest number of foreign
residents in South Korea. As of the end of 2024, more than 110,000 migrants
from over 25 countries live in the region. Given this growing multicultural
presence, numerous institutions and organizations in Gyeongnam are making
continuous efforts to support migrants' lives and rights.
The
exhibition presents diverse perspectives on migration, featuring works created
with the participation of migrants from various countries. The exhibition is
structured to engage both long-term residents and migrants, encouraging them to
reflect on coexisting in society.

Each
section of the exhibition interweaves artworks that intersect and connect,
forming a collective narrative. Instead of offering direct textual information,
the exhibition invites audiences to engage with the works through their own
senses and personal experiences, allowing them to discover meanings in their
own way. As visitors contribute their perspectives, their stories become
part of the exhibition itself, continuously enriching its significance.
