about this project
311東北～若葉町～アジア
311Tohoku～Wakabacho～Asia
横浜市中区の中心で多文化地域である「若葉町」の周辺に住む外国籍の人々、とくに中国、タイ、韓国と同郷のアーティストを招聘し、地元のアーティストグループ「ART LAB OVA」が、若葉町の人々の協力のもとに運営するプロジェクトです。
まずは、アーティストたちに、横浜の状況を知ってもらった上で、東北に赴き、仙台、南三陸、女川、名取、いわきで、3・11の被害を受けた同郷人と話をしてもらいます。
その内容を持ち帰って、若葉町内の各国飲食店において母語で展示をします。
・期間 ２０１２年７月～１２月
（各国アーティスト招聘期間は１１月１日～１１月１８日）
【Overview】
Many people from countries such as China, Thailand, and Korea live around Wakabacho, which is located in Naka Ward of Yokohama City, an area renowned for its cultural diversity. We would like to invite artists from these countries to Japan to learn about the situation in Wakabacho, and to travel to the Tohoku region to meet people from their countries who were affected by the earthquake of 311. Once artists return to Wakabacho, we would like to organize a get together in restaurants that serve their respective local cuisines and to talk about what they experienced up north.
【Schedule】
