Getbol: From Marginal Area to Gateway
Co-organized by curator Keumhwa Kim and landscape historian Jung-Hwa Kim, the Getbol Lab seminar gathers a diverse group of speakers, including anthropologists, biologists, environmental activists, architects, and urban planners. Gebol Lab facilitates multidisciplinary discussions, exploring the symbiotic relationship between humans and non-humans, urban and fishing villages, and the delicate balance between the oceans and the land.

For too long, Getbol has been labeled as “useless lands,” suffering from infrastructure-driven and land reclamation projects that have cost Korea nearly half of its tidal flats in the past century. However, given the current challenges of climate change and the recognition of Korean tidal flats as a World Heritage Site, it is crucial to reevaluate our human-centric view of Getbol. Getbol Lab sees Korean tidal flats as a vital intermediary zone connecting human and non-human life, showcasing a complex space with a complex ecosystem and the coexistence of diverse organisms. Simultaneously, we embark on a journey of critical reflection, questioning our constructivist approach to nature and embracing the concept of "un-making" design—an adaptable methodology.
The Humanistic Value of Tidal Flats and the Sustainability of Fishing Villages (by Jun Kim, Academic Research Professor, Chonnam National University)
Jun Kim presents "The Humanistic Value of Tidal Flats and the Sustainability of Fishing Villages," providing a sociologist's perspective. He explores the significance and intrinsic worth of tidal flats within Korea's distinctive fishing communities.
A Fresh Look at Tidal Flats through Darwin’s Last Idea (by Bon Joo Koo, Senior Researcher, Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology)
Bon Joo Koo presents an intriguing topic, "A Fresh Look at Tidal Flats through Darwin's Last Idea." Applying Charles Darwin's last idea that earthworms, constantly mixing the soil on the Earth's surface, impact the Earth's ecosystem, he explores the various traces created by intertidal organisms and the vast hidden spaces within sediment.
