독립운동: 겹쳐진 시선 The Independence Movement: Layered Gazes
서대문형무소 옥사
이 건물은 1910년대 후반, 일제가 독립운동가 수감을 위해 지은 옥사동으로, 붉은 벽돌과 철창 구조가 당시 수감자들의 고통을 상징합니다. 지금도 원형에 가깝게 보존되어 있어 일제강점기의 수감 환경을 생생히 보여줍니다.
Seodaemun Prison – Red-Brick Cell Block
This cell block was built by the Japanese colonial authorities in the late 1910s to imprison Korean independence activists. Its red-brick exterior and barred iron windows symbolize the suffering endured by those who were detained. Remarkably preserved in its original form, the building offers a powerful and realistic insight into the harsh imprisonment conditions under Japanese rule. It stands as a stark reminder of Korea’s struggle for freedom and the resilience of its people during the colonial era.
