Summary:	3 prints that were made by the Korean artist Jung Won-chul for an exhibition about "comfort women" in colonial Korea under Japanese rule entitled "Stories that can't be put aside" (Chŏbŏ tul su ŏmnŭn iyagi, 접어둘 수 없는 이야기), sometimes also called "The testimony" or "A story that cannot be set aside" in English. For this exhibit, which featured four sections and was inspired by a memoir by one of the survivors, Jung etched the images into compressed rubber plates using a dental drill before pressing those etchings in black and white onto lead plates.
