SEOUL, November 22 (AJP) - An exhibition showcasing a diverse collection of Colombian artworks through virtual reality is currently underway in central Seoul.
Hosted by the Colombian Embassy in Seoul in collaboration with the Korea Foundation, the exhibition presents a range of artworks from historical pieces to contemporary works, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the South American country's rich cultural heritage that transcends time.
The exhibition's displays also include several works from South Korea.
One of the highlights is a project called "El Beat" by Sergio Bromberg, which tells the story of an enslaved African in the 16th century who founded Palenque de San Basilio, the first free Africa town in the Americas, which was recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005.
"I've worked extensively to offer more immersive experiences in creating documentaries through virtual reality," Bromberg said.
"Colombia's cultural diversity is something we take great pride in. The mixture of different backgrounds and indigenous influences makes Colombian identity truly unique. I hope these elements are effectively conveyed through the works displayed."
He also expressed interest in many other collaborative projects with Korea, sharing plans to organize music concerts featuring Colombian artists here.
The exhibition runs until January next year.
