Market Root Vol.8 — Korean Creatives Market

Market Root Vol.8: Joy of slowness

‼️Market Root Vol.8 is an invitation to rediscover what modern life too often encourages us to forget. To slow down. To think more deeply. To reconnect with our senses, our creativity and our capacity for meaningful discovery in an age defined by speed and automation.

This September, Market Root brings together over 60 carefully curated creatives at Corner Corner in Canada Water, 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 time's theme, Joy of Slowness, celebrates those who choose to slow down, to make and discover with their own hands, and to find joy not in what comes easily, but in what they slowly earn."
