The second event of the 2020 Gwangju Biennale <GB Talk: Rising Mind, Welcoming the Spirit> was held at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul.
Following the Gwangju event in October, the project was based on collected research by visiting the Gwangju 5.18 Democratization Movement Archives, Gwangju Theater, Baekyangsa Temple, and Seoul Shamanism Museum. Participating artists Ana Maria Milan, Pemke Hereiraben, Ed Minolity, Korakrit Arunnannonchai, and Moon Kyungwon had an artist talk about digital culture, feminism, and its performance relationship; how to build a virtual world through science fiction; and how to explore urban history through the platform of collective intelligence.
