[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The National Asia Culture Center (ACC) will hold a related lecture to make the exhibition "Attention! Zombies," which reinterprets zombies as a symbol of contemporary times, easier and more interesting to enjoy.


On the 4th, ACC announced that a themed lecture will be held on the 16th at Lecture Room 1 in the ACC Cultural Education Building.


The lecture is linked to the exhibition "Attention! Zombies," which reinterprets zombies as a symbol of contemporary times. Although the "Attention! Zombies" exhibition originated in the West, it highlights the social and cultural meanings of zombies that are now reproduced beyond time and space.


Also, through the exhibition reading program by media culture researcher Kang Bora, the lecturer, questions are raised about how zombies have been able to attract public interest for a long time. Additionally, past and present zombie works are examined, and contemporary societal concerns are also considered.


In the "Meeting with the Artist" program, modern dancer Kim Bongsoo, who participated in the exhibition, will conduct a movement workshop. He will share anecdotes related to his work and his overall artistic world.



Dancer Kim received favorable reviews for his performance art "Web Pandemic," which connects zombies moving according to primal instincts with today's reality experiencing ethical regression due to the development of media. Furthermore, he has gained public recognition through participation in numerous broadcasts and performances such as Sweet Home (2020), Bulgasal (2021-22), Trapped in Fear (2019), and Landscape (2021).
