SYNOPSIS

Made up of eight people, the feminist art group IPGIM plans a feminist art festival in the form of citizen participation. The Chongmyo Citizen¡¯s Park is a place endowed with the gravity of Confucianism and the significance of patriarchy. These women take the point of view that Chongmyo (the ancestral temple of the royal family) is a place of the past and of the dead who performed religious rites there. With the theme of the birth of life from a woman¡¯s womb, they plan the ¡®Abang-goong Chongmyo Occupation Project¡¯ which addresses the contemporary significance of Chongmyo. But, on the day of the event, the exhibition is obstructed and dissipated through the use of force by the Jeonju Lee Family Association and Confucian scholars. However, the women artists united with feminist, culture, and art groups, plan to hold a woman¡¯s cultural festival, whereby all the ¡®bad women¡¯ will conduct a street march in exactly one month later, on Oct. 29 at the Chongmyo Citizen¡¯s Park. The series of performances will vividly convey the violence of patriarchy that is stubbornly extant even now, and the images of the women who stand against it.
