Group Exhibition Setouchi Region, Japan
The 2022 festival is held over three sessions:
Spring: April 14 to May 18
Summer: August 5 to September 4
Autumn: September 29 to November 6
Arin Rungjang's work "The blindman is not missing sightedness just as the stone is not missing sightedness" will be on view at Kasashima, Honjima in the autumn session.
The Setouchi Triennale takes place within the framework of Art Setouchi which continues every year. Art Setouchi has forged lasting connections with local communities and generated unique initiatives which are contributing to the restoration of the sea.
The Seto Inland Sea has been a vital transportation route since ancient times. Ships plying its waters stopped at different islands where their crew passed along the latest cultural and lifestyle trends. The distinctive local cultures that emerged through such interactions can still be found today.
The islands’ unique identities, however, are being eroded by the shrinking and ageing of their populations and the region’s diminishing vitality which have accompanied the acceleration of globalization, optimization and homogenization. Through the Setouchi Triennale, we aim to revitalize island communities that once thrived within the spectacular setting of the Seto Inland Sea, a nexus of trade and cultural exchange, and transform this region into a Sea of Hope for the world.
