Description
The place where will be located, Daebang-dong 340-3 and 3 other lots, is where U.S. army base 'Camp Grey' was located for 55 years until 2007 when they returned it. Seoul Women Plaza next to this site was 'Seoul Women Shelter' which accommodates prostitutes, runaway dementia elderly, and vagrants from 1962 to 1998. This is a place where division, poverty and difficult life of woman is intactly accumulated and the pain of our modern and contemporary history transmit to us as is. We want to re-create a dark, "death" space where you don't even want to get nearby and wish to disappears into a "saving (Salim)" space where saves women and families.
New Women and Family Complex Facility will be a "Saving (Salim)" space where saves relationship with families and households of women. This is a place where experiment and expand unresolved age-old issues, such as, collapse of social relation network, lack of communication among family members, women's low participation on economic activities, which stagnated for 20 years, and stagnant of gender inference, in new and interesting ways.
