Diggut Dokkaebi: The second story of ‘Giyeok yang Nieun goon’
Korean traditional dokkaebi (goblin) does not harm people. They protect them. They have been with people on roof tiles, at castle gates, and in everyday lives.
For example, one of the favorite foods of Korean dokkaebi is Susupat-tteok (red bean coated millet rice cake). Red beans are used to ward off evil spirits, but Korean dokkaebi prefer Susupat-tteok, which shows that Korean dokkaebi is far from evil spirits. Around the world, dokkaebi is written as "Goblin," but Korean dokkaebi herein, who protects people, is written as ‘Numen’ (guardian).
Wouldn't Korean Dokkaebi who protect people be needed in today's war-torn world? In an exhibition with a worldview where the past and present are connected by sound, bringing back dokkaebi is not that difficult.
The ‘Diggeut Dokkaebi’ exhibition is divided into three sub-themes: ‘Pungeoje,’ ‘Pyeonghwamanseon,’ and ‘Makgeolli.’
By praying for peace through Pungeoje, we will finally achieve peace and enjoy the festival with makgeolli!
