An exhibition featuring multimedia artworks from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will offer a glimpse into the lives of Southeast Asians.

The ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Exhibition at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul from Jan. 8-18 will display photographs and videos highlighting ASEAN’s vibrant cultures and lifestyles through fashion, food, handicraft, architecture and much more. The works are selected from the 2014 ASEAN-Korea Multimedia Competition in May last year, which was held under the theme, “Clothing, Food and Shelter of ASEAN.” Eleven award winners, diplomats and prominent artists will participate.

The event, in its fifth year, aims to invigorate channels of cultural exchanges between the 10 member states and Korea. Underscoring the importance of grassroots people-to-people interactions, ASEAN-Korea Center Secretary-General Chung Hae-moon told the media, “Cultural understanding and exchanges between the two peoples will lay the groundwork for further cooperation in diplomatic, political and economic fields.”

The venue is sponsored by Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information, ASEAN University Network and Gyeongju Foundation of Arts and Culture.
