Haji Oh: Shortlisted – Asia Pacific Art Awards

Haji Oh has been shortlisted by Creative Australia for the Asia Pacific Art Award - Innovation category

Awarded to an Australian artist, group, collective or arts organisation to recognise a unique method of practice, engagement, and/or process to build creative links in Asia or the Pacific. ⁠
⁠
Haji Oh's multidisciplinary practice is largely textile-based & employs traditional techniques —weaving, dyeing, tying and stitching—from Korea, Japan, Guatemala and Indonesia.⁠
⁠
Oh’s reframing of these traditional materials and study of the unique cultural methods behind their creation imbues her own artworks with a powerful sense of identity, place and memory that is further enhanced by their presentation in ambitious, evocative installations that incorporate photography, text and audio. ⁠
⁠
Congratulations + Good Luck Haji!
