Starting October 1st, Parque Lage (RJ) will host the artwork "Sobreviver" (in Korean, 생존의 숲), created in collaboration by Brazilian artist Mundano and Korean artist Leodav. The 2x6m² mural will depict a forest devastated by fire and endangered animals from both Brazil and Korea.

This initiative is organized by the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil, with support from various Brazilian and Korean institutions. The project aims to promote the G20 meeting, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19, with the theme "Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet." The exhibition will be on display until November 11.
