Delightful Political Experiments Community
Political Power Plant
What is Political Power Plant?
* It’s a political community project that gives young energies who dream of
good politics an opportunity to seek for alternative political activities.
01. Beginning
Citizen Starts Delightful Political Experiments
When a great energy who dreams of good politics
was being discharged and wasted without any purpose,
we thought:
“Let’s make a power plant!”
“Let’s gather all the energies and power politics!”
A power plant where every citizen is fuel to good politics and
every citizen can receive good political energy.
A small yet eco-friendly and highly efficient power plant
where everyone can study, plan, and work together.
Delightful Political Experiments Community,
Political Power Plant.

Photographer Sangyeop Lee’s <Politics in Photography>
Photography can play a role as a ‘silent accuser’ as it sometimes intensely and
sharply criticizes reality.
This makes photography one of the most political arts.
As digital cameras became common in the modern times, anybody can have political
communication through photography.
How can we see and communicate with the world through photos?
It’s a workshop where you can take photos and politically examine them with a
documentary photographer, Sangyeop Lee.
