First, let me explain some of the details of this project, then I will ask each professor to present how the murals came to be created. The videos shown here today are records of the murals' painting process, and will be broadcasted among other programs, when our channel is launched. Now, let us move on to the presentation of the acutal process of the murals' creation. For various reasons, the participants from France and Kuwait were unable to be presented. The mural created in Kobe will be introduced on air through Yomiuri Television on 25th August.
Literacy means the ability to conceive images.
Normalization, to make it simple, is to make this heterogenious world a world where the young and the elderly, healthy and handicapped live in harmony. After the workshop, an exhibition took place where we showed the two murals, ours and the Florida's, counting 1785 admissions in one week. Then the canvas was painted for the following 3 days through numerous discussions. Also, when compared to the Florida's mural, there were some interesting cultural differences as to the images of certain concepts, such as the color of the sun, or the meaning of the crow as a symbol of peace or bad luck. In Korea, there is a serious desire for peace, and everyone is looking for some new concept of peace.
