HISTORY

Future Plans

Utilizing a close network of over 100 UNIMA member countries worldwide to invite and exchange puppetry performances, share festivals, organize art markets, and pitching days, thereby securing possibilities for inter-country exchanges.
Expanding exchanges with continents such as Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, where interactions have been less active, to explore uncharted regions.
The 2025 Chuncheon UNIMA Congress will provide an opportunity to promote and disseminate Korean puppetry globally, creating another facet of K-culture.
