    Happy Chuseok! #Repost @han_soom with @get_repost Happy Chuseok! #Repost @han_soom with @get_repost ・・・ [Slide 1 is a black slide decorated with white and gray shapes and lines, in thin and thick calligraphic strokes. A white gestural circle hovers to the top right corner. To its left, words in white read: “Happy 추석 / Chuseok!” A block of text on the right of the slide reads: “This is a very significant holiday for many Koreans. Traditionally, Chuseok is a time to honor our ancestors and visit our living elders. We recognize that in the era of COVID-19, as well as a result of our diaspora histories, we may not have access to our families’ burial sites, ashes, or physical presence. We may not even know their names. / What can we do to connect to our ancestors and elders, despite whatever distance exists between us?” To its left, white lines fall across the page. Behind them, subtle white constellations float throughout the slide.] [Slide 2 is a black slide with a white, calligraphic image drawn onto it. White lines hover horizontally across the scene, with a small gestural ground, gray, with white grasses growing from the earth. A pair of black and white shoes are on the ground. The right one toppled, as if someone had just stepped out. Beyond the small gray, white lines create a sea, a gesture of something vast. White text reads: Simcheongga/심청가 is one of five surviving pansori, a traditional Korean heritage genre of musical storytelling. In this well-known folktale, Simcheong throws herself into the Sea of Indangsu as a sacrifice so that her blind father can regain sight. / What a contradiction it is that every Korean national can recite the filial sacrifice told in the story of Simcheongga, yet the Republic of Korea has the highest elder poverty and suicide rates of all OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries.”] Descriptions continue in the comments.
