Posted by GFN (at 2011/10/14 10:26)

Dr. Shin Sangsoon, GIC advisor and "Korean Way" writer for Gwangju News passed away on October 11, 2011. He was a man of great spirit and passion in sharing his knowledge to the world.

His column, "Korean Way" taught about Korean history and culture, which he had contributed 91 times from October 2002 to September 2010.

He was a very enthusiastic, compassionate and honorary scholar and his passing is a very deep loss for the GIC. Our deepest condolences to his family and he will be forever missed.

Let's remember and hold his memory and take his example that learning knows no end.

On Saturday evening a concert hosted by Gwangju International Center will take place at Mugaksa Temple in Gwangju. The diverse program includes traditional Korean music and dancing, including a Korean 25-string zither performance. The Korean zither or Geomungo was first played in the 4^th century in the kingdom of Goguryeo. The Geomungo is usually played while seated on the floor, and the strings are plucked with a short stick of bamboo.

There will also be a sand animation show and a poetry reading. In addition, dance acts from the Philippines, China and Thailand will perform at the moonlight concert.

The M.C. on the night will be Anton Scholz and the director of the show is Kim Hyunok. Mugaksa is located in the May 18^th Citizens Park in Sangmu and was built in 1971 as a Buddhist center for the military. The concert will kick-off at 7pm. Mugaksa Temple is a ten minute walk, signposted all the way, from exit 3 of Uncheon subway station.

Gwangju International Center members Selina Orrell and Maria Lisak have set up a new arts journal.

Called the Social Discourse of Disquiet, the online journal aims to be a platform for writers, artists and photographers to share their work.

The journal is looking for artists who would like their work publicized and contributors for writing and photography. Its creators are also keen to receive feedback and opinions on the project.

The creators stress that the journal is a work-in-progress, but it can be visited at http://gicjournal.wordpress.com/.
