Japanese Art after the Disaster
8 March 2012, London
The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 has affected the lives and minds of all people in Japan. It has also had an unparalleled impact upon Japanese artists who have been urged to express themselves in response to it. Prof. Hiroshi Minamishima, Professor at Joshibi University of Art and Design, will introduce the activities of Japanese artists after the disaster in March, and explore how it influenced their perception and approach, possibly comparing this with the response by international artists after the Chernobyl disaster.
This is a rare opportunity to understand the reaction of the people in Japan from the point of view of visual artists, some of whom have changed their whole direction since the disaster.
