SeMA-HANA Media Art Award 2021 Ceremony

This event was the award ceremony for the 2021 SeMA-HANA Media Art Award. Founded in 2014 and supported by the Hana Financial Group, the SeMA-Hana Media Art Award is a major showcase of the group’s commitment to raising the profile and public awareness of modern and contemporary art in Korea. Co-organized by Seoul Museum of Art in conjunction with the Seoul Mediacity Biennale, the award is dedicated to supporting and fostering the art and cultural ground shared between Seoul and other cities of the globe. Selected by an international jury, the award is presented to a participant or participants as a recognition of their contribution to the biennale.

The award is given to one or more participating artists whose work demonstrates artistic vision and contribution, as selected by a panel of domestic and international jurors. The jury, composed of five art professionals from Korea and abroad, reviewed provided materials in advance, visited the exhibition on-site, and engaged in in-depth discussion before selecting the final recipient(s).
