▲A poster for the traditional knot and cloth exhibition held by the Korean Cultural Center in South Africa   The Korean Cultural Center in South Africa will hold an exhibition of traditional knots and cloths, Korea's representative gyubang crafts, from 3.7 (Tue) to 5.31 (Wed), in the exhibition room of the cultural center. This knot & cloth exhibition will feature a total of 212 knots, including 117 knotted works by Kim Yoon-jung, author of , and 95 works by Choi Sun-hwa, president of the Jeonbuk branch of the Korea Foam Art Association. It is no exaggeration to say that knots made by crossing more than one string three times have a long history, and Korean knots have developed independently in thousands of years of history as Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 22. It is difficult to learn from literature or relics. ▲ A panoramic view of the traditional knot and cloth exhibition   Kim Yoon-jung said she would like to introduce more familiar and enjoyable knots in this exhibition. ▲ Visitors to Kim Yoon-jung's knot   Aside from the simple use of square cloth made to pack and carry things, other craft cloth is expanding its scope as a practical art, as it is used as a fashion item or interior object beyond traditional packaging. In this exhibition by artist Choi Sun-hwa, a set of human birth, growth, marriage, daily life, and death expressed the use of cloth that is dissolved throughout human life from birth to death.   ▲Visitors to see Choi Sun-hwa's wrapping paper   Through this exhibition, we hope that it will be a meaningful exhibition to introduce the beautiful Korean handicraft culture that has been handed down for a long time to the host country.
