'Free and Open to the Public' is the long-awaited 25th cartoon exclusively for Daily NK by Gregory Pence. A creative, talented cartoonist, Pence usually works with the latest news surrounding North Korea to put political, economic and human rights problems into a varied spectrum of new light.

However, of late Pence has been redirecting his talents towards a different goal; organizing the debut U.S. exhibition of leading North Korean defector artist Song Byeok. Everyone knows the phrase 'The pen is mightier than the sword'; and now Song, with the help of Gregory and many others besides, is about to put it to the test.

The exhibition opens on Friday 17th at the Goat Farm Art Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
