We thought ‘harmony’ is important for the Earth to be happy. Thinking of reasons for the impossibility to see harmony everywhere, we found the biggest problem is the conflict caused by the differences between people. Although there are prejudices against social under-privileges such as sex discrimination and against single mothers, we chose the specific theme of prejudice against foreign workers. This can be linked to discrimination against global people which harms the happiness of 'the Earth'.

Immigration has become widely discussed topic in many regions and countries around the  world. The number of people who are leaving their native country in search for safer and more comfortable life has been increasing in recent years. In their new country, however,  immigrants often experience unfair treatment or discrimination.
In this work, the authors, Korean female high school students, point to discrimination foreign workers in Korea face, and identify prejudice as one of its main cause. As long as there are people who are not aware of their prejudices, discrimination will not cease, and the human society cannot become really happy. Using colorful illustrations and objective data, the work’s aim is to make the audience think about the multifacetedness of the immigration problem, and their own biases.

Busan National Science Museum

The Busan National Science Museum which was established in 2015, began with a massive signature campaign in which 1.14 million Busan citizens supported the construction of a new science facility. It is a local-based science museum composed of the permanent exhibition hall under the themes of vehicles, aerospace, ships, energy, and radiotherapeutics, which are the key industries in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions in South Korea. We have just started our journey on the sea of science after departing from SCIPORT (the port of science).
