The “Solidarity Art of Coexistence” project is an arts exchange where Korean artists from SoliArtCo and refugee artists come together to run workshops and conduct interviews, then document the whole process into a documentary. You don’t need to be a professional artist to apply, if you have any interest in art at all, you’re very welcome to take a look.

About the Project

This project creates a space for SoliArtCo artists and refugee artists to connect and support each other through art. Participants share their artistic work and the stories behind it during workshops and interviews, and the entire process is recorded and made into a documentary. You won’t need to worry about your privacy, how much of your identity is revealed, including whether your face appears on camera, will be decided through a careful conversation with you beforehand.

Who Is SoliArtCo?

SoliArtCo is a group of 15 Korean artists working across a wide range of disciplines, including directing, classical singing, acting, dance, and film. The group is dedicated to practicing and spreading artistic solidarity within Korean society, and to building a community where everyone can truly coexist.

  • Period: January, February 2022

Who Can Apply

You can apply if you fit either of the following:
