About the event

The civilization that blossomed on Jeju, a volcanic island of the Eurasian plate, not only flowed in from the sea but also arrived from the northern continental civilization. All kinds of elements scattered, gathered in Jeju, and mixed and transformed together, shaping the ecology, geography, and way of life of today's Jeju. The 5th Jeju Biennale, now entering its 10th year, focuses on Jeju's paradoxical process of meeting the northern civilization, being scattered (heokkeuda), gathered (modakchida), and transformed (iyahong). To this end, the Biennale takes 'Iyahong', the refrain of the Iyahong Taryeong, which flowed in from the mainland and became another native folk song of Jeju, as its keyword and core concept. Through Jeju, which holds the principles of climate and diet, the Jeju Biennale seeks to present the ways of survival and the aesthetics that things, nature, and the life and divinity of humans have shaped together.
