Hosted by Lizz Kalo at Loft 28, the Creative Social is an event held the first Saturday of every month that artists can attend from the surrounding areas to showcase their talent. Kalo, a South African native who’s lived in Gwangju for two years now, says her favorite aspect of the Creative Social is that “it brings the community together. It’s a platform for people to express themselves, share their work or artistic abilities, and socialize.”

Pictured left to right are Yeong-sun, Min-a, Seul-gi, and Gi-yeong, Chonnam National University students who’ve been in the band Highchord since 2021. This was the band’s first performance since pre-pandemic times. Look for them to perform regularly this year. Instagram @highchord_official and YouTube channel 전남대 하이코드.
