Planning to Discover and Document Local Cultural Resources Following Training
[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheon Cultural Foundation announced on the 8th that it has completed the selection of this year's 'Suncheon Cultural Resource Content Discovery Support Project' excavation teams for the discovery and recording of local cultural resources.
In this recruitment, a total of 10 teams applied: 1 local researcher team, 6 general citizen teams, and 3 mixed teams of local researchers and citizens. After review, 4 small group excavation teams were finally selected.
The 'Gusangnamu' team aimed to explore remote villages that are gradually disappearing and record the stories of the villages and people. The 'Sorigolnamdo' team intended to research the reenactment and restoration of the Suncheon Ungok Village exorcism ritual, a scene from the first full moon day of the lunar new year.
The 'Gildongmu' team studied Dongpyeonje, a traditional Korean narrative singing style developed along the Seomjin River, and the 'Sowooju Media Cooperative' team plans to modernly restore the botanical illustrations of Florence, a missionary who came to Suncheon over 100 years ago.
The four selected teams will receive training in citizen recording activities such as oral recording and interview techniques, and from this month until November, they will conduct research activities in various ways according to their small group activity plans over six months.
In December, a results report meeting and the publication of a booklet will be held to share the research results with citizens.
