Sangmyung University exhibits photos by visually impaired

Sangmyung University is holding an exhibition of photographs taken by the visually impaired in Sangmyung Art Hall Gallery in Seoul until Nov. 30.

The exhibition, “The World Seen Through Mind,” in its eighth year, is showcasing about 70 works, with scenes from Seoul that include Itaewon alleys, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Changgyeonggung Palace and Seokchon Lake.

“The exhibition shows that there’s a common ground for people to share sentiments through art,” said Yang Jong-hoon, director of the video and media research center of the university.

Each photographer was assisted by photography majors of the university. The exhibition was sponsored by Topect Engineering, Fuji Film Electronic Imaging Korea, Sungjoo Foundation, Seoul Royal Rotary Club, and Art and Factory.
