Namwon-si Holds 'Records Exhibition' During the 92nd Chunhyangje Festival

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Namwon City, Jeonbuk, announced on the 29th that it will hold an exhibition of historical records reflecting on the history of the Chunhyang Festival during the 92nd Chunhyang Festival at the Gwanghallu Garden fence path and Namwon Daum Hall.

The Chunhyang Festival, which first started in Namwon in 1931, has now reached its 92nd edition and is heading towards its 100th.

Accordingly, Namwon City has prepared an exhibition of records on past Chunhyang Festivals, which contain many stories as deep as its history, to recall the past and gain momentum for the future.

Photos and descriptions capturing the significance of each Chunhyang Festival event from the 1st to the 91st, posters of past Chunhyang Festival events, and movie posters themed on Chunhyang will be displayed along an approximately 100-meter-long outer wall of the fence path between Gwanghallu Garden and Namwon Yechon.

At Namwon Daum Hall, under the theme "Re;make Chunhyang," a two-month exhibition from next month until June will showcase Chunhyang videos using the lenticular technique (which changes the image depending on the viewer's position) featuring the dawn view of Gwanghallu Garden that we have never seen before, along with photos capturing memories related to the Chunhyang Festival.

In addition, members of the 'Namwon Women's Nongak Troupe,' Korea's first female nongak (traditional farmers' music) group, who worked with Choi Bong-seon of the Namwon Gwongbeon?an important figure in the birth of the Chunhyang Festival in 1931?will hold a small talk show-style performance at Gwanghallu Pavilion at 11 a.m. on the 6th during the Chunhyang Festival period, enjoying stories and performances despite their advanced age.

The Chunhyang Festival, established in 1931 to preserve and pass down our nation's unique culture against the Japanese colonial government's forced rule and policy of ethnic extermination aimed at eradicating the Korean people, was a proud anti-Japanese cultural movement.

Let us reflect on the history of the Chunhyang Festival, now a representative festival of South Korea beyond Namwon, through the exhibition prepared for the 92nd Chunhyang Festival.
