Office Culture For Prosperity is part of The Beautiful Future collaboration between Nick Bonner of Koryo Studio, Dominic Johnson-Hill of Plastered 8, and a group of North Korean artists living in North Korea’s capital Pyongyang.
Title: OFFICE CULTURE FOR PROSPERITY 办公室，小康生活敲门砖

Medium: Gouache on paper

Office Culture for Prosperity
The artist has filled the office space with workers coming in from the fields back into the city.
It is reminiscent of Pyongyang citizens who leave to the countryside to help with the rice planting and harvest.
The storyline fits with the North Korean line that all are equal, peasant, worker, and intellectual- the triumvirate of North Korean society.
