The Dong Daejeon Library is hosting the "Warm Thread, Grateful Heart Exhibition" in the first-floor exhibition hall until December 28, allowing citizens to visually experience and personally engage with feelings of gratitude and warmth.

This exhibition is a complex, experiential event that combines knitted artworks with psychological counseling programs.

The exhibition features four types of content: spaces inspired by picture books, works by elderly knitting artists, and psychological healing programs.

"Annabelle's Room" is an immersive space inspired by the picture book "Extra Yarn," offering visitors a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

"Stories from the Past" showcases the life and works of Kim Younga, a Jeju haenyeo and knitting artist, while "Stories for the Future" presents the knitted creations of Kim Mihyun, a resident of the Gayang-dong area.

The "Psychological Counseling: Looking Into the Heart" program is a healing initiative that combines viewing knitted works with emotional exploration, guided by a psychological counselor.

Byun Okjin, director of Dong Daejeon Library, stated, "We hope this exhibition will help citizens experience emotional stability and warm empathy through knitted works and stories, and that it will naturally expand everyday artistic activities and local community culture."
