On April 16, 2014, a ferry called Sewol sank off the coast of South Korea, taking the lives of 304 people. The ferry carried a total of 476 passengers, many of whom were high school students on a school trip. There were two hours to save the passengers, but only one rescue boat was sent, and the captain and crew members were first to abandon ship. Before abandoning ship, the ferry crew repeatedly ordered the passengers to stay inside, even as water continued to rush into the tilted vessel. Having obeyed the orders of the crew, most of the passengers finally perished inside the ferry that eventually capsized into the ocean.
Despite its promises to raise the sunken ferry and to conduct an investigation into why the passengers had to die and why the ferry sank, the Park administration has not provided any answers to the surviving families. A reluctantly passed bill to allow special investigations did not result in any productive results and now the government wishes to halt the investigations because the bill has allegedly ran its set term.
NY/NJ Sesamo (People in Solidarity with the Families of Sewol Ferry Victims) plans to stand with the victims surviving families until they receive the answers that they deserve. NY/NJ Sesamo has planned a touring exhibition of works by the students who did not survive on that ferry as well as those wish to remember the tragedy through their art works. Yesil Park, who aspired to become a designer, made many drawings that show her unrealized yet imaginative designs. Sehee Lim was a talented sculptor and the photos of her works are on display. Yun-a Choi, who is a surviving sister, has created a series of digital works that reflect the pain of the tragedy and of those who have been left behind. Finally, NJ-based artist ShinYoung An, presents her latest paintings on the Sewol tragedy, as part of her artistic practice of social critique.
