Chapter 6: Creative Economy and the Future of the Planet
In order to utilize art and creativity as a growth strategy for Japan, we will hold art fairs and business contests as an "art version of SXSW," a forum for art markets and creative industry trade. Held at the Osaka Prefectural International Conference Center, designed by architect Kisho Kurokawa, the festival aims to develop into a sustainable art festival, and will host interdisciplinary symposiums in collaboration with universities and research institutes to consider the future of humanity and the planet.
Symposium "Study Meeting: Art & Impact, Where are we (the Earth) Heading (tentative title)"
In this age of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), the limitations of capitalism and logical thinking such as efficiency and design thinking have been pointed out, and there is a strong demand for visionaries with a vision to envision the future among executives in fields such as politics, business, and academia. This symposium will bring together fragmented wisdom from not only art and science, but also technology and anthropology, creating an opportunity to think about the future society at a global level in a transdisciplinary way.
Collaboration: Council on Life, Osaka University Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research, Research Institute for Humanity and Nature, etc.
