Direction of Culture

The biblical figure of Moses being born into the world, placed in a reed box called a Tebar, and entrusted with the fate of the Nile River, and Noah building a Tebar, or ark, to hold the fate of a select group of creatures in heaven as the world is submerged in a flood, have one thing in common. 'they don't have a rudder.'

It's like our own fate that even when we make careful decisions and live our lives well, things don't go the way we want them to, and often come to unwanted conclusions. Increasingly, it feels like every day life at home, school, and work is not unlike the turbulent waters of the Nile and the fear of a 40-day deluge. And yet, it's always when we have a good culture that we think, "Wow, this can't be good, this must be heaven.

They say that culture is like the air we breathe. The beautiful country that Dr. KimGu always talks about is a country of people with a good culture and high happiness.

SeoulPIUM aims to create a beautiful culture with artists who are lonely but have high values and ideals, and who live with the loneliness of art, as the Korean poet Baek Seok said.

We will rely on God to make good culture blossom
