Dictée Art Gallery

Dictée Art Gallery is a commercial gallery in Oakland founded by Korean American artist and gallery owner Tae Ha. The gallery takes its name from Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's 1982 book Dictée, engaging with language, power, and embodiment as central themes. Its program centers on practices in which form emerges from necessity rather than being predetermined, treating artworks as processes rather than fixed objects. The gallery's approach reflects an attention to histories of rupture, colonialism, exile, and linguistic displacement, positioning art as a site of refusal and negotiation.
