Substance of our activity
Living Montage believes that artistic and cultural activities arising from the human activities of researchers in the field will change today’s society in a more enriching way. Since its establishment in 2018, the Foundation has been documenting and archiving the national and international field activities of researchers who are deeply involved in local communities and people through video and photographs. By utilizing artistic sensitivity, We hope to bring the “margins” of field research to the surface as a living intellectual resource and further deepen the relationship between society and people. Through these activities, we aim to organically link artistic expression and academic research and contribute to the cultural development of cities and regions and the enrichment of the creative environment for people.
