We welcome the public to the opportunity to view Director Kelvin Kyung Kun
Park's film as featured in the conference's Artist Talk, *Cheonggyecheon
Medley*! The film screening will be presented through a virtual format.

The narrator writes a letter to the ghost of his grandfather wondering if
his recurring childhood nightmare of rusted metallic image is related to
the family history. After running a scrap metal factory in Tokyo during
World War II, his grandfather ended up in Cheonggyecheon of Seoul where
rundown small scale metal workshops still exist amidst the gentrifying
city. Drawing clues from fragments of dreams and myths relating to the
metal, the film reveals the secret alchemy of third world modernity in
Cheonggyecheon where these obsolete hand laborers still survive.
