  • Seoul City's Social Innovation Strategy: a Model of Multi-Channel
    Seoul City’s social innovation strategy: A model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement. Sunkyung Han, Jungwon Kim, Sojung Rim and AhYoung Park Spreadsi, South Korea Social Frontiers The next edge of social innovation research Social Frontiers Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: 2 a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen govern- ance and citizen engagement Seoul City’s Social Innovation Strategy: a model of multi-channel communication to strengthen governance and citizen engagement Jungwon Kim1, Sunkyung Han, Ahyoung Park and Sojung Rim Abstract Over the past two years, Seoul Metropolitan Government has significantly changed the way it engages with its citizens – moving away from a one-way public communication model towards a system with greater focus on getting citizens more involved in decision-making process. Seoul Metropolitan Government has developed various communication channels that open up two-way dialogue between the city administration and citizens. This research paper explores how these new communication channels are creating a culture, which encourages city administration to engage with citizens who provide information about their needs and help shape new ideas. The research results show that Seoul Metropolitan Government’s multi-channel communication builds shared understanding and trusting relationship among various stakeholders including citizens. It enables them to become partners in co-creating innovative solutions to problems of our society. 1 Introduction Social innovation is gaining considerable interest in public policy discourse all around the world and South Korea is no exception. Ever since a well-known social innovator, Wonsoon Park, be- came the Mayor of Seoul in October 2011, there has been a shift towards a participatory and open dialogue between the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and Seoul citizens.

    Whisper Only to You 12.10.2019-13.01.2020 From an idea of Sylvain Bellenger and Andrea Viliani with Sabrina Rastelli Madre · museo d'arte contemporanea Donnaregina Curated by Sabrina Rastelli and Andrea Viliani Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte Curated by Sabrina Rastelli, Paola Giusti and Maria Rosaria Sansone The Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte present Whisper Only to You (12.10.2019-13.01.2020), the first solo show of the South Korean artist Yeesookyung (Seoul, 1963) in two Italian public institutions, realized from an idea of Sylvain Bellenger and Andrea Viliani with Sabrina Rastelli. The exhibition is curated by Sabrina Rastelli and Andrea Viliani for the Madre · museo d'arte contemporanea Donnaregina, and by Sabrina Rastelli, Paola Giusti and Maria Rosaria Sansone for the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte. For this project, the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee received the support of Fund for Korean Art Abroad 2019, promoted by Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Korea, and of Korea Arts Management Service. Yeesookyung is a visual artist whose practice includes the use of different media, among which video-installation and painting, with a predilection for sculpture. The project of this double exhibition is divided into two complementary exhibition paths. The Facade Galleries of the Madre museum host some works that belong to the multimedia and multi-material production of the artist. Whisper Only to You (2019), which gives the title to the exhibition itself, is composed by the recording of a performance by Yeesookyung, who, in voice-over, whispers in Korean a never-ending story, while the images show the details of a drawing in red cinnabar – precious pigment of mineral origin, full of symbolic meanings in East Asia – entitled Flame.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNTOLD STORIES: THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA Grace Pak, Master of Architecture, Spring 2015 Directed By: Professor Garth Rockcastle, Department of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation This thesis explores the dialectical tensions, ironies, and myths of North Korea, with the hope of exposing fallacies and bringing awareness to the crisis of the oppressed citizens of this hermetic country. There are discrepancies between the North Korea that most people know, and one that is lesser known, which contains the everyday stories of real people. The goal is to design a cultural landscape containing the narratives of the persecuted in an effort to promote understanding about a country that is largely misinterpreted because of the images the Kim dictatorship and international media have planted in the minds of many people. The architecture provides a ground for commentary on the truth and what can be done to change the current state of apathy, ignorance, and helplessness. Acts of violation against humanity that continue in North Korea must be stopped. The fact that the North and South must reunite to save the citizens of North Korea is a pressing issue that the South Koreans must genuinely want in order to create change. Gathering information about Korea’s history and attributes of the proposed site will reveal how time changes space, the way our memories and ideas are both temporal and timeless as they are exchanged. When we become more aware of the issues at large, it will change our indifference and help us react to the stories that are told. UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA By Grace J.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
