EXPO PLL Talks
"Art & Impact: Thinking about the Post-Expo World with Innovators" vol.10
Suzuki Daisuke will be speaking with Hasegawa Yuko, who has been watching over the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, the museum with the highest number of visitors in Japan, for the 20 years since its inception, and who is organizing the Forest Art Festival: Sunshine Country, Okayama this year. He will be asking questions about art and sustainability, man-made and natural objects, coexistence with the local community, and connections to the global community.
The Forest Art Festival, to be held this autumn, for which Hasegawa serves as artistic director, is a fascinating initiative that rediscovers the potential of the region, creates new capital to last into the future, and provides fresh and rich experiences at the intersection of art, design, and architecture.
How can art change cities, regions, and governments? We will hear from them about their activities to date and their messages for the future.
