유대감:

Images of American Efforts to Modernize

유대감 (yoo-dae-gahm) which translates as 'fellowship' describes spirit from which these images were taken.

In 1901, YMCA missionary Philip Gillett traveled to Korea with the hopes of developing a Young Men's Christian Association based off of the American Model. Along with his faith, he brought "modern" western education, industry, and the arts.

These lantern slide images, which were from a lecture intended for an American audience, document the spirit of fellowship between the Korean people and the American missionaries who made it their life's work to develop communities.

This exhibit is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Korea Foundation, which aims to promote better understanding of Korea within the international community and to increase friendship and goodwill between Korea and the rest of the world through various exchange programs.
