About
A night-time media-art event at the bombed-out shell of the former Workers' Party headquarters in Cheorwon, one of the most striking Korean War ruins near the DMZ. Under the theme 'Peace Rising: from memory to empathy, from healing to the future', the building's facade becomes a screen for projection mapping, with interactive media, AR, light sculptures, AI-generated art and live performance around the adjacent history park. The centrepiece is 'Pro PACE: For Peace' by international media artist Yann Nguema, adapted to the site's history, alongside works drawn from Cheorwon's literature and residents' stories. Docent tours and special performances run during the event
Closed on Tuesdays and on Chuseok day (Sep 25).
