<Courage and Poetry: Refugees and Art in the Age of Mobility> Courage and Poetry: Refugees and Art in the Age of Mobility This was the first session, on the theme “Refugees in Our Time.” It began with a lecture performance by the critic and composer Choi Jungwoo, and then, with Professor Hyunmi Kim of Yonsei University as moderator, presentations were given by Professor Yongbe Tona, MAP activists Youngah Kim and Jooyoun Cho, and Professor Jihye Kim of the Department of Multicultural Studies at Gangneung-Wonju National University. MAP spoke on the topic “Rethinking Refugees in Korea as Political Subjects, from Traditional Dress to Hunger Strike,” and shed light on the lives and will of refugees in Korea who call for their rights as subjects of human rights, going beyond the limit of being objects of charity and advocacy. As Mr. Bereket Elemayehu, who gave the congratulatory remarks, hoped, we hope that more people will join together for positive change in society, including the improvement of the human rights of refugees in Korea.
