Our initial keywords were women, education, heritage, and sustainability.
🇰🇷처음 우리의 키워드는 여성, 교육, 유산 그리고 지속가능성이었습니다.
🇫🇷Nos premiers mots-clés étaient les femmes, l’éducation, le patrimoine et la durabilité.
We compared the girls’ school founded by missionaries with the Hyanggyo, a traditional Confucian school for men, and explored what women learned at the time.
🇰🇷선교사들이 세운 여학교와 남성 중심의 교육공간이었던 향교를 비교하고, 당시 여성들이 무엇을 배웠는지 조사했어요.
🇫🇷Nous avons comparé l’école de filles fondée par les missionnaires au hyanggyo, une école confucéenne traditionnelle réservée aux hommes, et recherché ce que les femmes apprenaient à l’époque.
We found records showing that they studied Korean, English, and mathematics, as well as sewing, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, and Western-style dressmaking.
🇰🇷국어와 영어, 수학뿐 아니라 재봉과 직조, 염색, 자수와 양장도 배웠다는 기록을 찾았습니다.
🇫🇷Les archives montrent qu’elles étudiaient le coréen, l’anglais et les mathématiques, mais aussi la couture, le tissage, la teinture, la broderie et la confection de vêtements occidentaux.
At first, we wanted to show how women’s roles in society had expanded since the 1910s, and reflect together on how they could grow further.
🇰🇷처음에는 1910년대부터 지금까지 여성의 사회적 역할이 어떻게 넓어졌는지 보여주고 싶었어요. 앞으로 어떻게 더 넓어질 수 있을지도 함께 생각해봤으면 했고요.
🇫🇷 Au départ, nous voulions montrer comment la place des femmes dans la société s’était élargie depuis les années 1910, et réfléchir ensemble à la manière dont elle pourrait encore évoluer.
But as we searched for women’s “visible” work, another question came to us. Does work have no value simply because it is invisible?
🇰🇷 그런데 여성들이 했던 ‘보이는 일’을 찾다 보니 다른 질문이 생겼습니다. 그렇다면 보이지 않는 노동은 의미가 없는 것일까?
🇫🇷 Mais en cherchant le travail « visible » des femmes, une autre question nous est venue. Un travail n’a-t-il aucune valeur simplement parce qu’il est invisible ?
While hospitals and schools were being built, where were the traces of feeding, washing, and waiting for others?
🇰🇷병원과 학교가 세워지는 동안, 그 곁에서 사람을 먹이고 씻기고 기다린 일은 어디에 남아 있을까.
🇫🇷Pendant que les hôpitaux et les écoles se construisaient, où sont restées les traces de celles qui nourrissaient, lavaient et attendaient les autres ?
Much of the teaching, medical work,
