For the 7th session of Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation, we were honored to welcome the artist, Mr. Tsuyoshi Ozawa, and to listen to his lecture about his activities in the aftermath of the disaster and his views on Fukushima. Hoping to bring joy to the children, Mr. Ozawa held kite flying workshops at the shelters and provided children who cannot play outside because of the radiation with spaces for playing inside. Also, in order to create an artwork that could diffuse information from Fukushima toward everywhere in the world, he went to Ghana and made this artwork linking Africa and Fukushima. He told us about his trip there. The artwork is presently exhibited at the Yokohama Creative City Center. The exhibition goes on until 9th of June. Not to be missed!
