SAC ON SCREEN Final Screening: The Great Graffiti Exhibition & Hangeul Street Art Wall Workshop
The Korean Cultural Center in the UAE is pleased to present the final program of SAC ON SCREEN: Family and Youth Series with The Great Graffiti Exhibition and a special Hangeul Street Art Wall Workshop. The Great Graffiti Exhibition introduces graffiti and street art as forms of free visual expression and contemporary art. For this final event, the main focus will be a hands-on cultural workshop where participants can experience Korean language and visual culture through creative street-art-inspired design. During the workshop, exhibition stands will be transformed into a large collaborative Hangeul Street Art Wall using foam boards and traditional Korean paper, hanji. Participants will choose Korean words such as “friendship,” “love,” “dream,” “peace,” “Korea,” “culture,” and “art,” and reinterpret them in a bold street-art style using the visual beauty of Hangeul, the Korean writing system. This workshop also connects Korean tradition with contemporary art by using hanji as an artistic surface and reimagining the traditional Korean folding screen, byeongpung, as a modern graffiti wall. We invite families, youth, and Korean culture lovers to join us for a creative evening celebrating Korean language, tradition, and contemporary visual expression. □ Event: SAC ON SCREEN: The Great Graffiti Exhibition & Hangeul Street Art Wall Workshop □ Date & Time: Thursday, 20 August 2026, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM □ Venue: Arirang Hall, Korean Cultural Center in the UAE □ Program: Screening of The Great Graffiti Exhibition and Hangeul Street Art Wall Workshop □ Target: Families, youth, and Korean culture fans □ Admission: Free □ Registration: Required in advance □ RSVP: https://forms.gle/rWMw2nz977H7Q22e8

SAC ON SCREEN Third Screening: Bongjangchwi
The Korean Cultural Center in the UAE is pleased to present the third screening of SAC ON SCREEN: Family and Youth Series with the Korean music theatre performance Bongjangchwi. Bongjangchwi was originally a form of Korean traditional music performed together with humorous storytelling about a phoenix. Today, only the music has been passed down, while the original story has disappeared. This performance reimagines the traditional music by creating new stories about birds and transforming it into a music theatre piece for children. The performance presents lively and imaginative stories of birds through Korean traditional music. With changes in rhythm, beat, pitch, and sound, combined with actors’ performances, puppets, and familiar everyday props, Bongjangchwi offers an accessible and enjoyable theatre experience for both children and adults. The screening features two stories. The first follows a cuckoo who dreams of traveling to the Sahara Desert after hearing stories from a swallow when it was young. The second tells the story of the shoebill, the biggest bird in the world, who wishes to fly like other birds and begins a journey to discover its true self. Join us at the Korean Cultural Center for a family-friendly evening filled with Korean traditional music, imagination, and theatrical storytelling. □ Event: SAC ON SCREEN: Bongjangchwi □ Date & Time: Thursday, 6 August 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM □ Venue: Arirang Hall, Korean Cultural Center in the UAE □ Screening: Bongjangchwi / 봉장취 □ Target: Children, families, and Korean culture fans □ Admission: Free □ Registration: Required in advance □ RSVP: https://forms.gle/deQxJWTWvjcf5Dof9 Notes: ●Seats are limited and advance registration is required. ●Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. ●Photography and video recording during the screening are not allowed.
