About "Study: Osaka Kansai International Art Festival 2025"
Study: The Osaka Kansai International Art Festival is an art festival that studies the relationship between art, people and society. With the theme of "social impact," we aim to revitalize the economy and visualize social issues through culture and the arts. With an eye on the Osaka-Kansai Expo, we have been conducting research three times since 2022 in Osaka. This year marks the year of the Expo, and 93 artists from 24 countries and regions will participate (as of June 8th), and the festival will be held during the Expo as an art festival that plays a role in connecting the Osaka-Kansai Expo with the entire Osaka area. The venue will be spread out inside and outside the Expo site on Yumeshima, and will be held in various places that symbolize Osaka, such as the Osaka Culturarium Tempozan designed by Tadao Ando, the Umekita area, Nishinari area, Semba area, Matsubara City, the National Museum of Ethnology in Expo Commemoration Park where the 1970 Expo was held, and the Osaka Prefectural International Convention Center (all built by Kisho Kurokawa), the venue of "Study × PLAS: Asia Art Fair". This art festival is supported and supported by embassies and consulates from 18 countries, and will create a place for new dialogue and discovery on a global scale by developing art projects in collaboration with international organizations such as Germany, South Korea, and the EU (European Union). Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, which will see the participation of 158 countries and regions and nine international organizations, we aim to promote culture and art from Kansai to the world, and to use culture and art to revitalize the economy and make social issues visible.
