Korea, Time and Generation: 38° of Separation

Since Korea was formally divided in 1948 down the 38th parallel line, the Northern and Southern parts of the peninsula have followed very dissimilar temporal and spatial paths. The division of the nation has created subsequent generations of Koreans who are, in many ways, poles apart, both physically and ideologically.

MadLab‘s exhibition Korea, Time and Generation: 38° of Separation presents cultural reflections and experiences of DPRK through the eyes of North Korean, South Korean and Western artists, illustrators and photographers, presenting the practical and cultural aftermath of a divided nation, whose populations, separated since WWII, have spent their daily lives in very different ways.

Co-curated by Hwa Young Jung and Beccy Kennedy, Manchester Metropolitan University.
