Korean ceramics — art related to everyday life | Lecture by Anna Kasiura

In the past, Koreans used pottery in many ways — for storing food, for eating and drinking, for writing and painting, during prayer, etc. Over the centuries, technologies and aesthetic values have changed, but the presence of ceramics in everyday life has remained constant. This state was changed only by modern materials, but traditional ceramics still have a loyal circle of fans.

What dishes did the aristocracy like? What were the tastes of ordinary people? What has earned the highest recognition from Chinese diplomats? What is the meaning of ceramic tile? We will learn the answers to these and other questions by looking at the development of traditional Korean ceramics.

Anna Kasiura is a lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Wroclaw, a graduate of the History of Art and Korean Philology. In her professional work, she combines two passions: a fascination with grammar and language rules and a love of art.
