Korean Cultural Centre in Cairo launches folk painting workshop
The Korean Cultural Centre in Egypt on Sunday began a three-day workshop on traditional Korean folk painting, known as Minhwa, at its premises in Dokki. The workshop, which runs from Aug. 3 to 5, offers participants hands-on training in the traditional techniques, materials, and motifs of the art form. Led by distinguished Korean artists, the programme is designed for students of the Sejong Institute at the cultural centre, as well as local enthusiasts of Korean culture and art. Organised by the cultural centre and curated by the King Sejong Institute Foundation, the workshop is part of the Sejong Culture Academy, a global initiative that sends Korean culture experts worldwide to deliver immersive programmes. 'Through this workshop, we aim to share a living aspect of Korean heritage and inspire Egyptian artists to connect with it,' said Oh Sung-ho, Director of the Korean Cultural Centre. 'We hope this initiative strengthens cultural ties and promotes artistic dialogue between Korea and Egypt.' Participants will also gain insight into the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of minhwa, which are renowned for their expressive style and rich symbolism, often depicting themes such as prosperity, longevity, and harmony. Popular motifs include the 'Four Gracious Plants' — the plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo — which represent the seasons and virtues in Korean philosophy, as well as everyday scenes, landscapes, and folkloric subjects. The workshop is part of the centre's broader mission to promote cultural exchange and deepen mutual understanding between the peoples of Korea and Egypt through the arts.

Over the past weeks, Ramadan has also released other photos and videos presenting different scenes from the film. In Assad, Ramadan portrays Ali ibn Muhammad, who led the Zanj Rebellion, a major revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate (from 869 to 883). The film is directed and co-written by Mohamed Diab, a filmmaker also known for writing and directing 678 (2010), Eshtebak (Clash, 2016), among other works.
