[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will hold the "Seodaemun Art Exploration Exhibition" from November 2 to 5 at the Dagachi Cafe on the 4th floor of the Social Economy Village Autonomy Center (43 Susaek-ro) to share the achievements of the "2021 Art Village Creation" project.

This project operates citizen art education programs using local cultural spaces such as workshops and galleries, and the district has been promoting it by region since 2018 to create a sustainable local cultural ecosystem.

This year, the program took place in September and October at 10 locations including photo studios, woodworking workshops, and pottery workshops located in Namgajwa 1 and 2-dong and Bukgajwa 1 and 2-dong, while observing social distancing measures.

At this exhibition, visitors can see 51 pieces created directly by over 30 participating residents, including pottery, vases, paper music boxes, knitted card wallets, and candle craft works. The exhibition hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

An event is also prepared where the first 70 people who upload a photo certifying their visit on their personal SNS will receive a mobile gift voucher (Gifticon).

The district will distribute free "Seodaemun Art Village Creation Village Maps" containing information about cultural and artistic spaces in Namgajwa-dong and Bukgajwa-dong to visitors. This map file will also be uploaded on the Seodaemun-gu website (Administrative Information → Archive).

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, "I hope this exhibition will be an opportunity to share the achievements of 'everyday art' created together by local artists and residents and to raise awareness of its value."
