Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
The global economic crisis and the triple earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster that struck Japan in March 2011 prompted many of us to reflect on our lives and realize we’re at a major crossroads that will bring changes to civilization. With this in mind, we Sapporo residents should be proud of our city, which is seen by many as one of Japan’s most attractive, and should work to pass on a better environment to future generations.
Sapporo declared itself a Creative City in 2006. It encourages locals to express their creativity in a manner that will spur related activities in daily life and in industrial, cultural and various other circles. The local government also works to promote the city’s widespread appeal globally.
The Sapporo International Art Festival 2014 (SIAF 2014) is being organized as part of the Creative City Sapporo initiative. Preparations for SIAF 2014 are in progress under the stewardship of Guest Director Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Based on the theme of City and Nature, the event will provide opportunities for residents to envision the future and examine how cities can coexist with nature via a reassessment of history, culture, natural characteristics, urban functions, local economy/industry and even lifestyles in the context of art.
