Session VI

Talking to the Heart: Culture as Peacemaker

BACKGROUNDER

People often think that politics moves the world, but that is not the case. It is culture and art that move the world. It is affection, not reason, that touches people in their innermost being. It is not their common culture that has divided the two Koreas for 70 years. Our panelists will explore ways that culture could bridge the divide.
