Seoul's 'Traditional Cultural Artisan Works' Exhibition Set to Highlight Korean Heritage
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced an upcoming exhibition showcasing the work of artisans involved in the "Traditional Culture Discovery and Succession Support Project."
The exhibition will be held at the Seoul City Hall Citizen Gallery from September 27th to 30th, featuring over 10 pieces from various fields such as crafts, music, dance, and traditional games.
The "Traditional Culture Discovery and Succession Support Project" has been an ongoing initiative by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to preserve Korea's traditional cultural arts.
Since 1996, the project has offered expert consultation and financial assistance to artisans who have dedicated themselves to maintaining and passing down Korea’s unique heritage, even in challenging circumstances.
This effort aims to keep traditional arts alive, particularly as they become more removed from modern-day life.
The works on display this year were selected as part of the 2023 Seoul Traditional Culture Discovery and Succession Support Project.
Visitors can expect to see a variety of traditional crafts, costumes, and performances that reflect the richness of Korean heritage.
The exhibition spans across multiple artistic disciplines, including martial arts, traditional games, music, and dance.
One of the exhibition's key highlights will be its opening ceremony at 1 PM on September 27th, featuring a performance by foreigners from countries such as China, the U.S., the U.K., and Denmark.
These participants will demonstrate the pansori (traditional Korean musical storytelling) skills they have learned over the past year.
On the craft side, a modern reinterpretation of Kkokdu—figurines traditionally used to adorn funeral biers—will be on display.
This unique collection includes creations like Bibim Kkokdu, Baedal Kkokdu, Elderly Kkokdu, Exam Student Kkokdu, Vegan Kkokdu, Birth Kkokdu, Ugly Kkokdu, and Rental Loan Kkokdu, each offering a contemporary twist on a traditional motif.
Additionally, various styles of Sobans—small trays traditionally used in Korean dining—will be exhibited, including the Gangwon Ban, Sachancheop, Hojok Ban, Won Ban, and Juchil 12-Angled Sondo.
These items, once used to serve food or pass items to elders, showcase the intricate craftsmanship of traditional Korean artisans.
The exhibition will also include video displays of traditional performances, offering visitors an immersive experience.
Featured performances include the Im Gwang-sik-style Bupo Nori, archival footage of the restoration of the Gwangdae Sogo dance, pansori performances, and a modern interpretation of the traditional Korean jumping game Neolttwigi.
This event promises to be a rare opportunity for visitors to experience the beauty and depth of Korea’s traditional arts while witnessing the work of artisans striving to preserve these invaluable cultural legacies.
