The “Grim Eomma” community has hosted annual exhibitions featuring artworks related to the zodiac animal of the year together with artists with developmental disabilities since 2022. Since last year, the exhibition has been shared with multiple institutions to help introduce their works to the public.

Through exhibitions showcasing the works of artists with developmental disabilities, art director Han Jemma has been standing alongside them and putting into practice the philosophy that “there is no prejudice in art.”

The exhibition will offer a wide range of works, featuring pieces by 88 artists with developmental disabilities, as well as works by art director Han Jemma.

A total of 88 artists with developmental disabilities—including 16 international artists—will participate. In addition, works by art director Han Jemma and by the artists’ mothers will also be produced and presented in online video format.

The exhibition will take place simultaneously online and offline at 28 institutions nationwide. At the Busan Marine Natural History Museum, it will be held in the lobby on the third floor of Building 1.

In particular, this year, an offline exhibition will also be held alongside the online program at Lush Village in Dumulmeori, Yangpyeong, providing visitors with an opportunity to view the actual works in person.
The offline exhibition at Lush Village in Dumulmeori, Yangpyeong, will run from Jan. 3 to Feb. 15.

The exhibition is free of charge. For more information, please visit the Busan Marine Natural History Museum website (busan.go.kr/sea) or contact the Museum at 051-550-8825.
