About the festival
The 2026 National Heritage Media Art Cheolwon Nodongdang-Temple is a nighttime cultural and artistic event that reinterprets the historical value and place identity of national heritage through media art, set against the backdrop of the Cheolwon Nodongdang-Temple and Cheolwon Historical and Cultural Park, which hold the history of the Korean War and division. The theme of the event is 'Peace Emergency: From Memory to Empathy, Beyond Healing to the Future!' and it expresses memories of the past through light and video, conveying messages of peace and healing. The event features a media facade utilizing the exterior walls of the Nodongdang-Temple, interactive media, AR experiences, light sculptures, AI media art, citizen participation content, and performances. A key program showcases the work 'Pro PACE: For Peace' by world-renowned media artist Jan Ngema, tailored to the place identity and history of the Nodongdang-Temple, along with programs that express the history and literature of Cheolwon and the stories of its citizens through media art and performances. The event will be closed every Tuesday and on September 25, the day of Chuseok, and will include cultural interpreters' docent tours, special performances, and experiential programs at the venue.
