First of all, I want to wish everyone a very happy new year 2017. The blog is returning to its regular “schedule” after a small break (actually I didn’t “abandon” for the past couple of weeks, I did some behind the scenes changes which, I hope, will make it faster […]

Earlier this week, I told you about Team Ogi’s Boat Dance for the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2016, now let’s get to the very end of the art festival, with the departure of the last ferry from Ogijima and then the official Closing Ceremony itself. I have […]
As you may know, the Setouchi Triennale’s main goal is to revitalize the islands of the Seto Inland Sea. The Triennale is an amazing idea to trigger that revitalization, but while it is necessary, an art festival every three years is not enough to attain that goal. If one […]
