The Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) presents an online lecture- 'Hangeul is Art' celebrating Hangeul Day (9 Oct) in Korea which commemorates the creation of the Korean alphabet- Hangeul by King Sejong the Great in 1446.One of the pioneers in the field of Hangeul design- Prof. Jae-Joon Han of Seoul Women's University will share his interpretation on the Hunminjeongeum Haerye (Explanations and Examples of the Korean Alphabet) based upon the information found in the book added with his imagination as an artist.Prof. Han has also invented 'CR Che'- a font that highlights Hangeul's simplicity while maximising its ability to expand by adding strokes to only 6 basic Hangeul letters (3 consonants- 3 vowels) to create all 24 letters of Hangeul- which then can be used to make syllables- words- phrases and even art works.While Hangeul has been recognised as an excellent writing system with its unique features- Prof. Han highly values its aesthetic- artistic and philosophical aspects that Hangeul is art as it is and has potential to near-limitless versatility.This lecture will be a rare opportunity to meet one of the most renowned Hangeul designers of Korea who will take you on a journey to appreciate the beauty of Hangeul and lead you to your own creation. Prof. Han emphasises that anyone can be a Hangeul designer and if you are unsure of how- he will show you the way.This online event does not require a previous knowledge of Korean language and will be livestreamed on the KCC's Facebook

But Morant was a complicated man. Born in England and immigrating to Queensland in 1883- he established a reputation as a rider- polo player and poet who submitted ballads to The Bulletin and counted Banjo Paterson as a friend. Travelling on his wits and the goodwill of others- Morant was quick to act when appeals were made for horsemen to serve in the war in South Africa. He joined up- first with the South Australian Mounted Rifles and then with a South African irregular unit- the Bushveldt Carbineers.The adventure would not go as Breaker planned. In October 1901 Lieutenant Harry Morant and two other Australians- Lieutenants Peter Handcock and George Witton- were arrested for the murder of Boer prisoners. Morant and Handcock were court-martialled and executed in February 1902 as the Boer War was in its closing stages- but the debate over their convictions continues to this day.With his masterful command of story- Peter FitzSimons takes us to the harsh landscape of southern Africa and into the bloody action of war against an upredictable force using modern commando tactics. The truths FitzSimons uncovers about 'the Breaker' and the part he played in the Boer War are astonishing - and finally we will know if the Breaker was a hero- a cad- a scapegoat or a criminal.
