The earthquake of Pohang, which occurred on November 15, 2017 (2:29 pm), caused the worst damage to the region since 1905 when Korea first started measuring the scale of earthquakes. Some buildings damaged and people were injured. At the time of the earthquake, there were people with disabilities who were not able to evacuate the building and people who had barely escaped harm with the help of family members.
Listen to the City’s film titled No One Left Behind (2018) portrays the lives of the people with disabilities in the Pohang region that the earthquake had damaged, shows how social minorities are exposed to natural or man-made disasters, and then, investigates how the community acknowledges and handles disasters. Also, the collective initiated a workshop for emergency preparedness training for people with disabilities and disaster preparedness training for museum employees; through film, it presents the results of these efforts in the exhibition. In the exhibition site, audiences themselves can draw a disaster preparedness map on a roundtable.
Naeseong River is exhibited at SEOULLO MEDIA CANVAS.
