Chonnam National University Honam Institute Launches Humanities Village Project in Full Swing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chonnam National University announced on the 10th that it will carry out the ‘2020 Humanities Village Project’ in Gwangsan-gu and Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

The Humanities Village Project, promoted by the Honam Studies Institute of Chonnam National University starting this month, aims to help and connect village residents to become the owners themselves, reflect on community life from a humanistic perspective, and live their daily lives more richly.

The target locations are Gwangsan-gu’s Kkamang Humanities Village (Doran Doran Cafe on Bia Jungang-ro) and Buk-gu’s Gandetgol Humanities Village (Workers Cafe in Sinan-dong on Jami-ro).

At Kkamang Humanities Village, under the theme of ‘Creating Spaces of Memory,’ interviews are conducted with various classes of original Bia residents to build a narrative space of the village.

At Gandetgol Humanities Village, themed ‘Act 1: Family Stories through Film’ and ‘Act 2: Wise Emotional Life through Film,’ stories are told from various perspectives about home, love, maternal affection, pseudo-families, and the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure that humans experience.

Meanwhile, this project originated from an agreement signed between the Honam Studies Institute of Chonnam National University and the Gwangsan-gu Public Activity Support Center to effectively carry out academic research projects and support public activities.
