MANSE 2026 begins with 'The Freedom to Plant Flowers', a group exhibition opening at Cosmos Gallery on August 1. Inspired by Baekbeom Kim Gu’s words — “Our freedom is not the freedom to pluck flowers in a park, but the freedom to plant flowers in a park” — the exhibition asks what we are free to plant, carry, and grow together today. Opening the MANSE 2026 K-Art & Culture Series, this exhibition brings together Korean and Korean-diaspora artists reflecting on memory, heritage, freedom, and the possibility of beginning again. Join us for the opening reception to meet the artists, gather with the community, and begin the MANSE journey with us.
