Market Root Vol.7: Korean Creatives Market

Market Root Vol.7: Breaking Away, You Are Detected.

‼️Reports suggest a growing number of independent creatives have gone off script. Ignoring convention. Rewriting the rules. Creating work on their own terms. We've spent months tracking them down.

This August, Market Root brings together over 60 carefully curated creatives at Copeland Park in Peckham, each redefining fashion, design, art, food and independent culture in their own way.

Founded in London by Korean creatives, Market Root is an artist-led platform that champions emerging designers, makers and independent brands through thoughtfully curated experiences and meaningful creative exchange.

This year's theme, Breaking Away, You Are Detected, celebrates those who choose curiosity over convention and create new paths instead of following existing ones.
