About the Exhibition

Date: 10th -11th May, 2025
Location: The Factory Dalston Pod4

"Bongsan Talchum—The Spirit of Satire" explores the role of masks, movement, and humour in traditional Korean performance arts. Dating back to the late Joseon Dynasty, this dance-theatre tradition has served as a playful yet sharp critique of power structures, social norms, and human nature. Through the visual exhibits, our exhibition will bring this UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage to life, allowing visitors to engage with its vibrant storytelling and timeless themes.

How You Can Help

Every donation, big or small, will help us turn this vision into reality. By supporting this project, you are not only helping emerging cultural professionals gain hands-on experience in exhibition-making but also contributing to the promotion of global cultural heritage.

If you believe in the power of the arts to connect, educate, and inspire, please consider donating and spreading the word. We would also love for you to join us at the exhibition on 10th-11th May 2025 to experience Bongsan Talchum!

We appreciate your support in making "Bongsan Talchum – The Spirit of Satire" an unforgettable experience!
