Or because of the upcoming referendum on the expulsion of foreigners? No, it's worse: the village brass band has imploded!

The Eye of the Storm: Art in the Time of Fukushima

Thursday, March 11th - 12PM EST

Over the past decade, there have been numerous studies on the triple Fukushima disaster in a wide variety of fields, ranging from risk analysis to the environmental consequences, as well as the socio-political implications and the effects on public health. However, its impact on the world of art has so far not received the critical attention it deserves. Using the recent publication of the book The Eye of the Storm: Art in the Time of Fukushima, a voluminous collection of interviews and dialogues between Japanese and French artists, as a starting point, Michaël Ferrier will explore the consequences of the event on Japanese and French art and, in addition, the role of art in the new configuration of the Japanese society after “3/11”.

Sponsored by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States and the Office of the Dean of Arts and sciences at Duke University.
