Dear SSJ-forum list member,

the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming *u:japan lecture*:

*Adrian Favell
**"ISLANDS FOR LIFE: Art Projects and Post-Growth Philosophies in Japan"*

Date and time: Thursday 2022-01-13, *18:30**~**20:00*(CET, UTC/GMT +1h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CET).

In this virtual lecture, Adrian Favell (University of Leeds, Bauman Institute) will discuss the ideas and practice developed by art producer Fram Kitagawa in Niigata's Echigo Tsumari, as well as the Seto island based art projects of the artist Yukinori Yanagi, the Momoshima Art Base. While these projects draw on the almost limitless resources offered by the voluntary participation of young "lost generation(s)" artists and creatives as well as abundant empty properties in remote locations, a younger generation have responded in their own way to Japan's stagnation and dilemmas over housing and art careers.
