Haji Oh

Haji Oh is a third-generation Zainichi Korean artist, born and raised in Japan, now living and working in Wollongong, Australia.

Oh utilises the techniques of weaving, dyeing, tying, stitching, photography, text, and audio in her installations to shed light on the untold stories of people whose lives have touched hers, and to give expression to the silent memories of women and unnamed individuals. She began her artistic career by investigating and deconstructing traditional Korean costume. Her recent practice has evolved through workshops and other forms of community engagement, encompassing media such as photography, video and text.

Oh is the recipient of the Innovation Award at the Asia Pacific Arts Awards (2026), the Tokyo Contemporary Art Award 2024–2026, and the Audience Prize at the ANTEPRIMA × CHAT Contemporary Textile Art Prize (2024). Her work has recently been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (2025), the Art Gallery of NSW (2025), the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial (2024), and Paris Photo (2024). She is currently undertaking the Artspace Studio Program in Sydney (2026–2028).
