가닥 Gadag (oyoun.de/gadag) is a project by Oyoun, funded by the Lotto Stiftung Berlin, with its public program on 24 March - 30 April, 2024. It has three chapters unfolding at the same time: Strands (video and multimedia exhibition), Tangle (laboratory) and Knots (accompanying events and program).

In the project 가닥 Gadag, we comb through threads of war memories – of women, of queer and marginalized bodies, and interweave them into a tapestry of collective memory. With artists, practitioners and cultural workers, we amplify individual experiences of survival in the (post)colonial history of Korea, Vietnam, Japan and its diaspora, highlighting the trajectory of colonial-patriarchal violence of the West.
