"The Great East Japan Earthquake: How Art Can Find Its Own Way"(English only)

What is the role of art after a catastrophic event? Confronting the enormous power of nature unleashed by the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, many Japanese artists and art professionals felt powerless. Yet, we are uplifted by a comment made by a 16-year-old boy, rescued nine days after the earthquake. Asked what he wanted to be in the future, he answered: "I want to be an artist."
On 11 June, exactly three months after the 3/11 Great East Japan Earthquake, the exhibition "Remembrance of the Future to Come" opens to face this disaster from the viewpoint of five artists.
12 June 2011 (Sun) 11:00--13:00
Speakers: Ingo Günther, Shinji Ohmaki, Koh Sato, Shinya Watanabe
In the part of the Exhibition: "Remembrance of the Future to Come"
