Artist Bio

Haji Oh: A third-generation Zainichi Korean artist born and raised in Osaka who now lives in Australia. She utilizes the techniques of weaving, dyeing, tying, and stitching based on textile and fibre arts to shed light on the untold stories of people whose lives have touched hers. In additional to textiles, she has used photographs, texts and sounds in her installations in order to give expression to the silent memories of women and unnamed individuals. She collects memories through community workshops and dialogue, and develops them in her practice to explore the effects of post-memory. Since 2017, she has engaged in a series called grand-mother island project, in which she attempts to trace the trajectories of people who have crossed the seas between Australia, Japan and South Korea, focusing on the individual narratives that are interwoven with history.
