SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS:

NOBLE MARITIME COLLECTION PRESENTS:
Haenyeo: Matriarchs of the Sea
 
Learn The Noble Maritime Collection is delighted to partner with the JCC for a special presentation of Haenyeo: Matriarchs of the Sea. This virtual lecture is presented by co-founder of the Chosun Taekwondo Academy Patty Cook, and features a close look at the Haenyeo (sea women) of Jeju Island, who hold their breath while diving 40 feet into the Yellow and East China Seas. Often referred to as mermaids, the divers catch urchins, abalone, and red sea cucumber from the ocean floor in wet suits without oxygen tanks. Many of the sea women are now in their 70s and 80s, and follow traditions, such as free-diving and singing work songs, that date back to 1629. The Haenyeo provide food for their families and sell what they harvest for income, forming a matriarchal society of strong, brave women. Their story is inspiring, and this lecture takes viewers on a virtual dive through photographs, video footage, and a special performance by a Korean musical group. The group sings a song handed down by the Haenyeo, describing the light of the sunset in green-blue water as they return from a day in the deep. 
 
This program is supported by public funds from Councilman Borelli of District 51 and the New York City Council in partnership with the Department for the Aging.
