2026 Seoul Urban Agriculture Expo
Oct 16 – Oct 17, 2026 · Seoul
Overview
The 2026 15th Seoul Urban Agriculture Expo goes beyond simply looking at greenery in the city — it aims to convey the value of urban agriculture, where citizens directly plant, touch, and tend to plants to restore ease of body and mind. Under the slogan 'Companion Plants, a Green Comma in My Heart!', the event will be held for two days, from October 16 to 17, around the Dongbu Leisure Center area in Seoul Forest. The venue is made up of five zones: a Theme Zone, a Promotion Zone, an Experience Zone, an Urban Agriculture Living Model Exhibition, and a Vegetable Garden Crop Exhibition. Experience programs include threshing and egg-bundle making, insect experiences, makgeolli brewing, and grasshopper catching.

Textile Exhibition 《Texture of Rest》
Jul 24 – Oct 2, 2026
Wooran Foundation's second textile exhibition, 《Texture of Rest》, offers contemporary people who are losing their sense of self amid a flood of information and relationships a time to 're-weave' their scattered selves through fiber's inherent physical properties of 'connection' and 'endurance.' In this exhibition, fiber moves beyond being a mere object of appreciation—crossing the threshold within us, honestly passing through the depths of pain, and advancing toward true peace—to offer a 'living journey of healing.' This suggests that true peace can only be encountered by facing pain, not by turning away from it. It is an exhibition where visitors can briefly turn off outside noise, engage in an intensive dialogue with their inner selves, and experience the purified texture of rest they ultimately arrive at.
