The 2026 Kiaf SEOUL x KAMS x Frieze Seoul Talks Program brings together leading figures from Korea and the international art world to exchange perspectives on key issues shaping contemporary art. Serving as a platform for dialogue, the program connects the Korean art scene with the broader international art community.

This year’s program examines the diverse forces shaping today’s art world, from the evolving roles of museums, biennials, and other art institutions to the expansion of media and technology, artistic practices, and the changing structures of collecting and distribution.

Comprising nine sessions, the program will bring together approximately 30 museum professionals, curators, artists, collectors, critics, and representatives from leading art publications in Korea and abroad. Drawing on their experiences and perspectives across different fields, participants will explore the transformations taking place in contemporary art and consider the position of Korean art within an evolving international context.
