ABOUT GWANGJU
Gwangju, one of Korea’s largest cities, is known for its political history and creativity. It’s considered the birthplace of Korean democracy as it was home to the May 18 Democratic Uprising – a 1980 mass protest against South Korea’s then-authoritarian military government. Art abounds thanks to a wealth of museums, exhibitions and festivals that are bolstered by civic investment.
