SOUTH KOREA: Streetart Jeonju – Omokdae – Jaman Mural Village – Urban Art Open Air Gallery

The JAMAN MURAL VILLAGE is located on a hillside opposite the famous HANOK VILLAGE in Jeonju and was originally a modest residential area for lower-income families. Starting in the 2010s, the neighborhood was transformed through urban art and revitalization projects, with murals painted by local artists, students, and volunteers.
