SEWOL sinking disaster

Having made friends with artists from Korea, visited there, studied the language and expecting to return this fall, I watch the news about this country frequently. The loss of so many young people in the sinking of the commercial ferry Sewol off Jindo Island in Korea is being mourned even as justice is demanded by family members and friends. There are numerous artist responses to the disaster, with the theme "we'll remember."

Here are a couple of links to describe the disaster:

An artist and curator from Gwangju is curating an online exhibition for "We'll remember." Details are on her site:

I'm working on a piece and will post it here and submit it to her when I'm done. I expect I will take it to her when I travel there.
