Transforming Dongtan Station into a Cultural Hub
Imagining a Sustainable Future through Art and Citizen Participation
Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province will host the "Dongtan Station Art Station Eco Spaceship MARS 151" exhibition for three weeks, from September 13 to October 2, on the fourth basement level of Dongtan Station.
This exhibition is designed to transform Dongtan Station, a major transportation hub, into a space for everyday culture and the arts, and to inspire citizens to imagine a sustainable future through art.
The exhibition will showcase an installation piece that artistically represents the "Eco Spaceship MARS 151," a futuristic mobility device that absorbs carbon and creates oxygen. "MARS 151" combines the road address of Dongtan Station, "Dongtan Station-ro 151," with the planet of art, "MARS," symbolizing a spaceship that explores both the real city of Hwaseong and the imagined future of Mars in space.
In addition to the exhibition, the city will also offer a variety of citizen participation programs, including a moving performance that expresses the message of carbon circulation through dance, lectures, and workshops for children.
Jung Myunggeun, Mayor of Hwaseong, stated, "Through this exhibition and other initiatives, we will continue to expand diverse cultural content that allows citizens to naturally experience and participate in a sustainable environment and future in their daily lives."
