Evelyn Char explores South Korea’s biggest state-own Asia Culture Center, which archives art historical documents from various countries in Asia. She discovers that this new national monument sits right on the former site of the 10-day long Gwangju (Kwangju) Uprising in 1980 (aka May 18 Democratic Uprising, UNESCO), or Gwangju Democratization Movement.
〈走過泡菜大地〉之二原先要報導和探討光州雙年展的點滴。作者查映嵐有感,改為記述光州的「國立亞洲文化殿堂」(Asia Culture Center,簡稱 ACC),一座號稱全亞洲最大的文化中心,佔地 16 萬平方米,2015年落成,園區就在最繁華的市中心旁邊,所在地就是1980年光州民眾佔領的全羅南道廳原址。
