The First Global HOKMA Seminar Day Held
The first Global HOKMA Seminar Day was held on September 19 (Thu.) in the Lee Sam-bong Hall of the ECC building to welcome international students newly enrolled in the second semester of 2024. The Global HOKMA Seminar Day served as a gathering for designated professors and international students in all 12 classes in Korean for incoming international students and “Global HOKMA Seminar 1: Start in Ewha,” a course designed for adaptation guidance, with the aim to allow students to mingle early in the semester. Dean Jeeyon Paek of the HOKMA College of General Education delivered encouraging remarks by saying, “I would like to extend my warmest applause and compliments to all of you who took the courage to come and study in an unfamiliar foreign country like Korea, when you could just as easily have studied in your home country using your first language,” and added, “I hope that your time at Ewha Womans University will be a joyful time of learning and growth, and we promise to spare no effort in supporting you with whatever assistance you need.” This was followed by an introduction for the university by EWHAROSA, the official student ambassadors under the Office of Admissions who serve to bridge the gap between Ewha and high schools, as well as celebratory performances by Lilyewha, a traditional Korean music club at Ewha, and celebratory K-pop performances by the campus jazz dance club View Hallo and the campus contemporary dance club Action, which energized the audience with delightful spectacles. The day’s events ended with a networking session designed to bring students closer together. With the number of international students arriving in Korea this year exceeding 200,000 for the first time since the launch of the Study Korea 300K Project by the Ministry of Education, Ewha has aggressively supported international students to adapt to university life with ease and made efforts to foster global professional personnel with the intention of globalizing its education and enhancing its global brand value. Under the medium- to long-term international student attraction plan, Ewha plans to enable sustainable learning by managing international students in all departments, other than the Division of International Studies and the College of Nursing, under the Global Division of the HOKMA College of General Education for one year to help international students foster their abilities in basic liberal arts and the Korean language, starting from 2025. Ewha plans to make further efforts to operate various programs for international students, including a meticulous education management system for the intensive teaching of basic knowledge through Korean language education and customized guidance for adapting to university life before international students select their majors in their second year, allowing them to choose their majors upon reaching a certain level of Korean language proficiency. In addition, Ewha will continue to perform active international student attraction activities and build a systematic and meticulous operating system for international students.
EMAP X Frieze Film 2024, Adding Color to the Campus Nights
The College of Art & Design held the Ewha Media Art Presentation (EMAP), an international media art festival, from September 2 (Mon.) to September 6 (Fri.). Launched in 2001, EMAP has cemented its place as a global art festival for introducing leading media artworks at home and abroad. This year, it presented a visual artwork project titled “EMAP X Frieze Film 2024” in partnership with Frieze Seoul, which is frequently cited as one of the world’s top-two art fairs. The EMAP X Frieze Film 2024 event was overseen by Frances Morris CBE, a distinguished visiting professor under Ewha Frontier 10-10, a project conducted by Ewha to create world-class research accomplishments. At the event, Joowon Park, a former curator at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, and Valentine Umansky, a curator at Tate Modern, showcased the media works of 37 international artists through joint planning. More than 300 key figures in cultural circles attended the opening ceremony held at the ECC at 7 p.m. on September 2 (Mon.). Attendees included President Eun Mee Kim, Distinguished Visiting Professor Frances Morris, faculty members and students at the College of Art & Design, including Dean Gyoung-Sil Choi of the College of Art & Design and EMAP Executive Commissioner Airan Kang, and organizers of Frieze. President Eun Mee Kim introduced the event by remarking, “In its history of two decades, EMAP has showcased media arts in various formats including video installations, interactive art, and performances, focusing the limelight on rising women media artists at home and abroad, and has served to foster creativity and international competitiveness among Ewha students,” and further noted, “I appreciate Frieze Seoul for choosing Ewha Womans University, a world-class academic institution for women, to be a partner of Frieze Film, which began in 2022 with the goal of supporting the non-profit art ecosystem of Korea, and it is my hope that the cooperation and growth between the two institutions will continue into the future.” This year’s EMAP focused on the exponential rise of digital technologies in rendering the intrinsic ties between humanity and the natural world faded and distant, while fundamentally reconfiguring the space and boundaries between humans and nonhumans. Against this backdrop, EMAP showcased media artworks based on the concept of time by 35 global artists in eight chapters under the theme of “All that Weaves the Universe: A Question of Quantum Entanglements.” The outdoor exhibition held on campus, including the ECC, consisted of screens installed to showcase the themes “A Question of Quantum Entanglements,” “Longing & Belonging,” “On Time, Data, and Speed. Visions of Postmodernity and Accelerationism,” “Making Kin with the Living,” “Of Soil, Stones, Steel and Souls,” “A Line Seeking to Meet Itself,” “Deep Time,” and “Ewha Highlights: Unveiling Human Experience in a Digital Age.” EMAP X Frieze Film 2024 presented a unique experience with large-scale screens and video works from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., in addition to works by students and graduates of the College of Art & Design of Ewha that were exhibited in the Ewha Art Center and across the campus.
