SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Exploring K-Art & Culture: Guided tour at Seodaemun Prison History Hall
DESCRIPTION:>>> ANNOUNCEMENT: \nThe event is CANCELLED due to unforeseen circumstances. \nThank you for your understanding  and we are looking forward to seeing you soon at our other events. \nK-art & culture exploration event will be back in September with details available soon in our calendar. <<< \nNational Liberation Day of Korea is celebrated every year on the 15th of August. On August 15th\, 1948\, the Republic of Korea was officially established. Marking this special day\, we will learn about the value of freedom and peace visiting Seodaemun Independence Park\, Seodaemun Prison History Hall and the gate of Independence. Through a guided docent tour\, we will learn about the history and sacrifices made by Koreans toward democracy and freedom. \n  \nSeodaemun Prison was built by the Japanese Empire to house political prisoners and independence activists during their occupation (1910-1945). Eighty years later\, the prison was turned into Seodaemun Independence Park on August 15\, 1992 to commemorate the Korean patriots. The Seodaemun Prison History Hall is a museum and memorial that honors those who suffered and gave up their lives for Korea during the Japanese occupation. \n  \nThe Independence Gate was built as a symbol of Korea’s independence. Measuring 14.28m high and 11.48m wide\, it is the first Western-style building in Korea modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in France\, and was designated as Historic Site No. 32 on 21 January 1963. Located near Seodaemun Prison History Hall\, Dongnimmun Gate was constructed to commemorate Korea’s long- standing desire for freedom and independence. \n  \nJoin us this month to celebrate South Korea’s National Liberation Day (15th August) by learning about its treacherous history and honoring the brave. \n  \nAfter each K-Art & Culture Exploration SIWA event usually there is an unofficial part of the program\, which is up to the participants to stay for a coffee or a lunch. So you might want to have a bit more spare time on that day.  \n  \nThe event is open to SIWA members and their guests!  \nRegistrations and payments need to be made by August 8th. \n  \nEvent date & time: 2023.08.10. 10:00 – 12:00 \n  \nEvent host: Yashu Sitani\, hospitality@siwakorea.com \n  \nVenue: 251\, Tongil-ro\, Seodaemun-gu\, Seoul \nSubway: Take Subway Line 3 to Dongnimmun Station (Exit 5) \n  \nNaver map: https://naver.me/FaSypwqZ  \n  \nMeeting spot: We will meet in front of the main entrance of Seodaemun Prison History Hall at 9.50 AM so we can start the tour on time. \n  \nTicket price: Adult (age 19-64): 3\,000 won \n  \nNr of participants:  max 10.  \nThe event is open to SIWA members and their guests. \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTE FOR PAYMENT:  \nIf you wish to make a payment through our website\, please make sure to use a credit card issued outside of South Korea\, as currently Paypal and its credit card system do not accept South Korean credit cards. \nWith South Korean bank account and credit card you can make your payment via Bank transfer: \n\nBank Name: KEB Hana Bank\nBank Account #: 359-910024-03504\nAccount Name: SIWA (시와)\nDescription: *please add your name*_EVENT NAME\n\n  \nAdditional Information:

SUMMARY:SIWA Monthly Book Club: “A HEART OF DARKNESS” by Joseph Conrad
DESCRIPTION:This month we come up again with a timeless classic – ‘Heart of Darkness’. It is a story within a story. The novel begins with a group of passengers aboard a boat floating on the River Thames. One of them\, Charlie Marlow\, relates to his fellow seafarers an experience of his that took place on another river altogether—the Congo River in Africa\, where he was appointed captain of a river steamer. He sets out for his journey in Africa optimistic of what he will find.  \nAlthough his job was to transport ivory downriver\, Marlow developed an interest in investing in an ivory procurement agent\, Kurtz\, who is also a government agent and has established himself as ‘God of natives’ . But Marlow suspects something else. What would it be? \n  \nJoin the journey of captain Marlow in the interiors of African Jungles and also the interiors of the human psyche. What do you think is more dark?  Is there really a difference between ‘civilized people’ and ‘Savages’? Are there any parallels between ‘The greatest city on earth’ and ‘The darkest of Jungles.’  \n  \nCome this July to know more and discuss the voyage of Captain Marlow\, as he sets his sail in the direction of  colonized Africa.  \n  \nEvent date & time: 2023.07.14. 10:30 – 12:00 \n  \nEvent host: Sejung Jang\, bookclub@siwakorea.com  \n  \nVenue / meeting spot: Paris Croissant Hannam-dong \, 서울 용산구 독서당로 78 (한남동) 청화빌딩 \nNaver map: http://naver.me/xaP7LmuL  \n  \nNr of participants: no limit \n  \nTicket price: free \n  \nAdditional Information: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.  \n  \nIf you want to plan ahead\, next month’s book is “THE STATE OF AFFAIRS” by Esther Perel.

SUMMARY:Exploring K- Art & Culture

The old wooden train station was turned into a large-scale brick building with Renaissance\, Byzantine and Neoclassical styles in 1925  with a particularly sophisticated construction method. All to indicate the importance and role in modernization\, development\, time  and culture. The building witnessed historic moments and shifts in social life over time.  \n  \nNow as a platform of arts and an exhibition space\,  it is a  cultural gateway for local and international visitors. \n  \nThrough the explanations of professional docents\, we will view the architectural\, historical\, and cultural value of the former Seoul station and  we will be able to listen to the story of Culture Station Seoul 284 and view the current “ANOTHER LETTER TO NATURE”  exhibition. \n  \nAt last we will visit the  nearby SEOULLO PH CAFÉ\, where we can enjoy a good chat\, some tasty brunch and drink with an amazing view overlooking the area and Namsan. \n  \nEvent date & time: 2023.06.01. 11:30-14:00 \n  \nEvent host: Yashu Sitani\, hospitality@siwakorea.com \n  \nVenue: Culture Station  Seoul 284\, 1 Tongil-ro\, Jung-gu\, Seoul 04509 // 문화역서울284\, 04509 서울특별시 중구 통일로 1 \nNaver map: https://naver.me/GWFrIdRi  \n  \nMeeting spot: We will meet in front of the Culture Station Seoul 284 at 11:25 so we can start the guided tour on time. \n  \nNr of participants: max 10.  \nThe event is open to SIWA members and their guests. \n  \nTicket price: free.

SUMMARY:SIWA Monthly Book Club: “MIDNIGHT LIBRARY” by Matt Haig
DESCRIPTION:“A feel-good book guaranteed to lift your spirits.”—The Washington Post \nMatt Haig\, the author of award-winning children books and number one bestselling novels for adults\, takes you on a journey that explores the choices and regrets that make up a life. Sometimes we all wonder how our lives might have been if we had made different choices at any point in our lives. Would we end up in the same place? Or would it be fundamentally different? Any happier? Truly better?  \nIn this enchanting story\, Nora Seed faces the same questions\, when she ends up between life and death and wakes up in the Midnight Library\, where the shelves are endless and the books are all about her life. One book is about her actual life and the others allow her to try another life she could have lived with different choices. All exploring the best and worst that could happen. Are any of them more fulfilling and worth living?  To get out of this magical place on time\, she has to search and find the answer within herself.  \nRead this emotional story and celebrate the power of ordinary choices in the next Book Club. \n  \nEvent date & time: 2023.05.12. 10:30 – 12:00 \n  \nEvent host: Sejung Jang\, bookclub@siwakorea.com  \n  \nVenue / meeting spot: Paris Croissant Hannam-dong \, 서울 용산구 독서당로 78 (한남동) 청화빌딩 \nNaver map: http://naver.me/xaP7LmuL  \n  \nNr of participants: unlimited \n  \nAdditional Information: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.  \nIf you want to plan ahead\, next month’s book is “MARTIN EDEN” by Jack London.
