Hanji Meets Canada

OIS Art of Canada is delighted to invite you to “Hanji (韓紙): A Thousand Years of Korean Paper Art – Hanji Meets Canada,” the first-ever Hanji touring exhibition presented in Ottawa as part of Asian Heritage Month 2026. This special exhibition introduces the beauty, history, and contemporary artistic possibilities of Hanji — Korea’s traditional handmade paper with over a thousand years of cultural heritage. Featuring works by seven distinguished Korean Hanji artists, the exhibition highlights how traditional Korean paper art continues to evolve through contemporary artistic practices. We are especially pleased to present this exhibition in Ottawa for the first time, creating a meaningful opportunity for cultural exchange and dialogue between Korean and Canadian communities through art.
