In the context of the exhibition 책거리 Chaekgeori Our shelves Our selves, we invite you to a Minhwa workshop with the artist and co-curator Han Yun-Kyoung. Together we will learn the art of Minhwa on this day.
Minhwa literally means “painting of the people” or “folk art”. This type of painting was often the work of anonymous artists who faithfully adhered to the styles, canons and genres inherited from the past. Each of the painted symbols has its own meaning, such as happiness, prosperity, health or long life.
The project has been supported by the Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, Korea.
