“This exhibition is a strong symbol of the bonds that fortunately unite our two cultures and peoples. It is very interesting to observe that in the globe, Jeju and the southernmost point of Brazil are exact antipodes,” chargé d'affaires Paulo Cypriano said during the opening ceremony at the Brazil Hall on Nov. 18.
“We share some features that were beautifully captured through the lens of Joao Paulo, like nature, folk culture, customs and faith. Most pictures are displayed in pairs, showing the aspects that Korea and Brazil have in common.”
