From: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=113965571968572 "Our School Our Art": An Art Exhibit by Busan Foreign School Being an international school student is a unique experience in a country like South Korea, where multiculturalism is perceptibly a slow yet gradual process. To express and celebrate their individual differences with the public of Busan, seven students of Busan Foreign School have created an exhibit titled Our School Our Art, for which they reflectedon their own experiences as international school students in South Korea. This exhibit will be on display at Suyeong Station Art Mediate Space (SSAM), a government funded cultural space developed as a part of the Busan Transportation and Art Program, which can be found at exit four of Suyeong subway station. These seven students, Emily Allen, Hidaya Mansour, Jenny Bae, Ash Wood, Sunny Kim, Ryan Ro, and CJ Cruz, have created work that is hinged by a pre-occupation with identity and distinctiveness. Their cultural identification, sense of belonging, perception of place, and past memories are recurring themes across the 14 pieces of art that complete this exhibit. As more than half of these young artists are still in elementary school, they have demonstrated through their work and dedication that artists of all ages are capable of representing challenging and complex ideas. The Busan Foreign School Art Club will celebrate and welcome the Busan public to the opening of Our School Our Art on Friday, April 30th, 2010 with a wine and cheese party from 6-8PM. This exhibit will be on display at SSAM until Friday May 14th, 2010. **Donations of wine, cheese, or other beverages and finger foods are needed and will be GREATLY appreciated :)
