Sinjang-dong is a place that preserves the unique story of Pyeongtaek and is an area where many K-55 US military units and multicultural families reside. There are unique shops and central markets for the U.S. military, but there are not as many visitors as in the past, and in the midst of becoming commonplace, the creation of a collaborative space Hanchigak that acts as a regional community center is unique.


Collaboration space_Hanchigak was created by artist Binul, a native of Pyeongtaek, to communicate with local artists and local residents with a lot of interest in the region from childhood memories to the present.


Collaboration space_Hanchigak remodeled the building that operated a pizza restaurant for over 20 years, and created a shared kitchen and workshop on the first floor, an exhibition hall, art market, and community space on the second floor, and a shared garden on the roof. It will be used as a place of communication.

On October 30, the opening event included a photo exhibition of artist Younggil Kim, a Songtan archive exhibition, 'Robo General Store' by artist Lee Burok, reciting poems in Pyeongtaek by poet Deokgyu Lee, and sharing of world food.

We will try to make this space active through collaboration with us.”
