Core Corea – Issue 2

Core Corea is a zine series unlike any other — a fresh, irreverent lens on Korean cultural heritage from the team at DIGGING BOOKS. This second issue dives into the world of the Korean mask, or Tal: vibrant, humorous, and deeply human objects that have long reflected the joys and struggles of everyday life. From satirical portrayals of corrupt aristocrats to the wit of common folk, these masks feel as relevant today as ever. Beautifully raw and full of character, this is essential reading for anyone drawn to culture, craft, and visual storytelling with real bite.
