The Halfie Project"Massacre in Korea" by Pablo Picasso“No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.” ― Pablo Picasso
What was Picasso depicting and trying to express in his painting “Massacre en Coree?” It was unveiled in 1951, was brushed off by contemporaries at the time and overshadowed by his masterpiece “Guernica”.
But looking at it today, somehow it turns the narratives painted (pun intended) by the parties involved in the Korean war into a very different, twisted image.

The Halfie Project"You Speak Korean So Well" - the Truth & Why it Hurts!Language is the medium for meaning - both explicit (a word’s specific definition) and implicit (the carried nuances of meaning + culture). Korean, both culture and language, are high context and so when you don’t speak Korean fluently, you can feel left out. As mixed Koreans, we often get the statement “You speak Korean so well!” as a compliment; but the reality of what that phrase means can hit home rather differently.
