Content Development

As part of understanding the values of cultural heritage, CHRF recognizes that heritage is not to remain in the past but live among us in the present. This manifests in CHRF's endeavors to educate and spread awareness, but also in inspiring and developing new content creation based on cultural heritage.

2023 'Blank Wall' Exhibition

Inspired by Polish museums' "empty frames" movement to commemorate artwork lost during WW2 by hanging empty frames in their institutions, CHRF is hosting a series of exhibitions in Korea titled the "Blank Wall".

To remember Korean cultural heritage lost overseas, and to raise funds for their return and proper use, CHRF is collaborating with artists and galleries in Seoul, Daejeon, Ilsan and more by exploring various themes through different exhibitions.
