The scenic former Ogimi Village Shioya Elementary School is the main venue of the Yanbaru Art Festival, held three times since 2017. The first year introduced art to Yanbaru (Yanbaru Nihakobune), while the second year’s theme was “Yanbaru Renaissance,” focusing on an artistic revolution in Yanbaru. The third-year event extolled the “Richness of Nature in Yanbaru,” resulting in the creation of the image of the forest guardianship by art (Yanbaru Kogane no Mori). “What I have consistently cherished is the primordial power that lives in the land of Yanbaru, which is born from the activities of people and nature. The keyword is rejuvenation and the relationship with the region. It’s an attitude of ‘creating no art.’ This year, the fourth festival is at a major turning point for humankind, but we would like to make this festival an opportunity to ‘visit the old and know the new.’ Where do you plant the seeds you have sown in the past? How do you grow the seeds you have sown? Of course, we literally hand them over and carefully plant them by hand. Still, because of the current digital, virtual, and remote era, I would like to try a new generation in the art innovation that makes us feel in synchrony while staying in a remote location.”
