Haenyeo is the term used for a special group of women, from the South Korean province of Jeju, who dive under the sea without any breathing apparatus., features photographs of the women in action and a range of artefacts. The women, who have passed down their muljil skills through the many generations, practice a sustainable fisheries system to coexist with nature while promoting their culture through a female community.Among the exhibits on display in UCLan’s PR1 Gallery are the Jeju Haenyeo mullot and muljil tools from the Haenyeo Museum in South Korea.
Dr Sojin Lim, Co-Director of UCLan’s International Institute of Korean Studies, said: “The value of the women’s skills on South Korea’s culture is immense, culminating in the recognition by UNESCO in 2016.“This free exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in Korean culture to learn about such a rare part of South Korea’s culture.”
