GMA first opened its doors on August 1, 1992, and since that day, it has made a special purpose of preserving what Gwangju stands for. Every exhibition that comes through the museum places special emphasis on the theme of social justice. The curators at GMA work to bring socially conscious art work to the museum to reflect the themes that Gwangju is known for: art and human rights.
Punk rock is a very nostalgic thing for me. It was the first music I really claimed as my own. First Green Day, then Less Than Jake, then Epitaph Records, then Asian Man Records; one by one all these bands started to give definition to my music. It’s music of the people for the people; true and liberating.
Creativity doesn’t have to stop for anything. There is no down time, there is no need to wait; just create and make the opportunity. In 2012, the Gwangju Performance Project was calling all artists to do just that – to create and to see those creations come to life.
