This program is an empathy workshop under the theme 'A World Connected by Fingertips, Continuing Senses,' conveying a message of connecting everyone. It is targeted at single-person households in their 20s to 40s.

Participants will explore bodily movement and tactile sensations through the collaboration of visual artist Shin Hyejeong and contemporary dancer Jang Wonjeong, experiencing a creative process that combines spontaneous drawing and sculptural work. Additionally, through activities such as 'Palm Line Drawing' and creating 'Shining Hand Sculptures,' participants will visually express their inner emotions and sensations, gaining time to newly recognize themselves and others through art.

The workshop will be held for free at Suwon Art Space Gwanggyo on November 15, with two sessions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. It is open to individuals and groups among single-person households in their 20s to 40s, and participation is available by pre-registering on the Suwon Museum of Art website.

The 'Alone-Together' art education workshop at Suwon Art Space Gwanggyo is designed to provide opportunities for self-expression and social development for adolescents with developmental disabilities, and to offer adults living alone a chance to overcome isolation and build relationships. Through this, the program aims to fulfill art's public role in healing individuals' inner selves and restoring social connections.

The program for adolescents with developmental disabilities was previously held in two sessions on September 23 and 30. Under the theme 'Light Blooming at the Fingertips, Our Story,' a total of 22 adolescents participated, creating objects using the principles of light and communicating through art by projecting their own stories onto walls and ceilings with a 'Light Telescope,' receiving an enthusiastic response.

Nam Kimin, Director of the Suwon Museum of Art, stated, "I hope that time spent alone and experiences shared with others will naturally connect through art, creating an opportunity to newly discover oneself and others."
