In the form of a film and installation, artistic results from the Korea Association's many years of work with young people who have explored these issues in their treatment of the story of the so-called "comfort women" will be presented. The peace statue functions as an educational medium to convey the complexity of the issues of colonialism and sexualized violence. It addresses the silence of those affected due to shame and feelings of guilt as well as the denial of the crime by the perpetrators. In addition to historical reappraisal, the work with young people also aims to raise awareness of sexualized violence in past and current war situations and in the young people's own lives. The work is intended to give young people the courage to break the silence and empathy for those affected.
