Showcasing queer South Korean art, literature, & film
K-QUEER celebrates the vibrant yet often overlooked world of queer Korean creativity. While K-culture has gained global fame, the lives and stories of South Korea’s LGBTQI+ community remain largely limited. Discrimination persists across society, and many queer Koreans still face barriers to visibility, acceptance, and legal protection.
Recent developments, including recognition of same-sex partners under national health insurance, and the inclusion of same-sex couples residing together in the 2025 census signal meaningful but gradual progress.
Founded to bring often overlooked narratives into the open, K-QUEER creates space for dialogue, creativity, and understanding. Its first edition, Intimacies of the Invisible (Dec 2025 - Jan 2026), explores the experiences and representations of gay South Korean men through film screenings, an exhibition, and a book talk, inviting audiences to engage with stories of identity, resilience, and love.
