Exhibition 'Sik' by Youth Record Group Storyteller held at Jungnang Art Center Exhibition Hall 1 until 27th... Displaying records of interviews and photos with tailors and cutters in Junghwa-dong and Myeonmok-dong areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) announced that the exhibition "Sik," themed around the local representative industry of garment manufacturing, will be held at Jungnang Art Center until the 27th, organized by the Jungnang Cultural Foundation (Chairman Pyo Jae-soon).

The exhibition title "Sik" is a newly coined word combining the consonants and vowels 'ㅅ', 'ㅌ', 'ㄹ', and 'ㅣ', meaning "a story made with thread." The exhibition is filled with records created by the "Storytailor," a recording team composed of local youth, who conducted interviews and filmed garment workers and tailors in the Junghwa-dong and Myeonmok-dong areas over about two months in July and August.

Through photographs, installation art, short stories based on interview content, and various collected and recorded works, visitors can see how the region's representative industry, which has continued for over 60 years, is perceived and felt through the eyes of today's youth.

The exhibition is free and open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Exhibition Hall 1 of Jungnang Art Center. For more details about the exhibition, inquiries can be made to the Cultural Policy Project Team of the Jungnang Cultural Foundation.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "I hope you enjoy the stories of Jungnang-gu's garment industry, each reflecting the unique personality of our youth, in an entertaining way."
