Walking Scenery

Walking Scenery

“Walking Scenery” is an attempt to connect postwar history and the present through the scenes of three places by three female artists of different origins, Yuju Wen (Taipei), Natsumi Seo (Tokyo), and Solmay Bak (Gwangju), and to pass on the stories through their expression. Each artist will visit Tokyo, Taipei, and Busan, walk around, and touch upon the unfinished postwar history of the region. Workshops will then be held in various locations, where participants will discuss with each other how to connect the baton of history. Finally, the creative work that emerges from these experiences and workshops will be performed in the form of readings performances and a discussion. The written texts themselves are also creations, and they will eventually become the seed for another form of works.
