The Role of Art: THE REAL DMZ Project | Basel Peace Forum 2023

2023 marks the 70th anniversary of one of the world’s most famous borders: The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula near the 38th parallel north, dividing it roughly in half. It was established to serve as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea. What divides the two countries is not just the physical border but its immeasurable effects on their political, military and diplomatic sectors. We cannot see or describe them in words but can sense their existence affecting past, present, and future. For over 10 years, Korean curator SunJung Kim has been working on the REAL DMZ PROJECT, a contemporary art and research project focused on the DMZ and border area issues. At the Basel Peace Forum, we invite SunJung Kim and fellow artists to the exhibition’s vernissage to discuss borders' role in contemporary arts. With Sunjung Kim (Artistic Director), Kyungah Ham (Contemporary Artist), Noh Suntag (Artist), Joongho Yum (Artist). Moderated by Laurent Goetschel (Director of swisspeace and the Basel Peace Forum). _________________________________ https://basel-peace.org http://www.realdmz.org
