Echoes of Literature and Art: Five Cultural Walks in Gwangju

Narrative

In Gwangju, literature and art are not confined to museums—they are embedded in streets, pavilions, and parks. Poets and thinkers left behind verses etched on the poetry monuments of Sajik Park, while the lyrical tradition of gasa flourished amid the tranquil pavilions of Mudeungsan Mountain and Damyang. The Ullim-dong Art Valley draws the eye with its harmony of galleries and forest paths, forming a living canvas of contemporary creativity. At the Gwangju Literature Museum, the legacy of four influential poets unfolds through personal spaces and enduring works. These five walks offer a quiet invitation to experience Gwangju not only as a place, but as a continuing story of words, landscapes, and memory.
