2021.10.11 Setouchi Asia Forum 2021 Artists’ Breath Live - Artists in the midst of the pandemic

Over these one and a half years after the outbreak of the new coronavirus,
traveling, dining, gathering, and holding exhibitions have been restricted,
and the humanity that humankind had acquired over 20,000 years have been
lost. Despite being in such a difficult time, it gives us hope to hear from
artists who continue to think and create their artworks. The desire to
contact with art is growing stronger and stronger, and there has never been
a time when artists’ ideas and works have become hope.

The Setouchi Asia Forum was launched as a part of Setouchi Triennale 2016 in
hopes to create a platform for people from Asian countries and regions who
had been (or wished to be) involved in regional revitalization through art
and culture by sharing their experiences, learning from each other, and
discussing their ideas, in order to build continuous and sustainable
relationships. The 2nd edition of the forum was held in 2019, joined by 33
groups from 15 different countries and regions. This time, we would like to
expand the scope to all over the world and make it an online form in which
global artists participate. The Artists’ Breath Live consists of (1)
creation of a booklet composed of over 100 participants’ texts and its open
release to the public (2) live reports of 3-minutes each delivered online on
the day of the forum, showing the diversity of artists and the simultaneity
of the world.
