Actor Kim Nam-gil is now supporting young creators preparing for independence. The culture and arts NGO Gil Story announced on the 11th, “We will hold the exhibition ‘Hit the Road Together: Kindness Connected by Art’ (hereinafter ‘Hit the Road Together’) for free at KB Youth Lounge in Hongdae, Mapo-gu, Seoul.”
The ‘Hit the Road Together’ campaign is a project that provides creative support funds and mentoring to young creators aspiring to enter the field of culture and arts. It is hosted and organized by Gil Story and supported by KB Kookmin Bank. Four creators were selected: Gong Oh-il (ceramist), Park Gang-bin (digital drawing), Lee Yo-han (singer-songwriter), and BM (musician), whose works will be presented in the exhibition.
Ceramist Gong Oh-il presents ‘House Archiving’, which captures the methods and records of decorating a house beautifully. Especially, the pottery and drawing experience conducted in collaboration with him offers a unique experience. Artist Park Gang-bin presents a work titled ‘The Dot: 100 Dots’. It illustrates experiences and stories of people encountered in the process of gaining independence within 100 dots.
Singer-songwriter Lee Yo-han recently finished a concert last month. His self-composed songs like ‘Cloud’ and ‘Blue Star’ were pre-released, and can now be listened to in the form of an audio preview at this exhibition. You can also listen to musician BM’s self-composed song ‘Move Forward’. It is a song that conveys comfort and hope to people, and is the result of the composition project ‘Melody of Hope’.
An official stated, “We hope this provides an opportunity for young creators preparing for independence, who possess artistic talent but are unable to showcase it due to social and economic limitations, to establish a foundation for economic and emotional independence.” The ‘Hit the Road Together’ campaign is a free exhibition that runs until the 22nd, open from 1 PM to 7 PM on weekdays and from 1 PM to 8 PM on weekends for a total of 12 days.
Lucky draws and events are also prepared. Meanwhile, the culture and arts NGO Gil Story is a non-profit private organization established in 2015, conducting social contribution activities through art.
