MANA VIVA: building a future for regional areas with cultural policy

Genre:
  • Lecture / Symposium

A series of seminars will be held to examine regional conditions, and consider the meaning and role of cultural policy for earthquake disaster recovery. What direction should Iwaki City’s intended urban development take? What are the requirements? We will hear from a variety of guests, and consider the issues together with event participants.
We look forward to welcoming a large number of participants to this event.

MANA VIVA
MANA VIVA is a forum for thinking, learning and discussion on the future of Fukushima, through the exploration of possible solutions to disaster-generated regional challenges from a cultural and artistic perspective.

(1) Talk: "How far does the subject of culture extend?"

In recent years cultural policy has targeted not only the promotion of arts and culture but has extended to diverse fields such as urban development and welfare. This talk studies recent trends and looks at the roles necessary for taking advantage of cultural policy’s ability to cut across segments.

(2) Discussion: "What can be done to value regional diversity?"

In any one region, people with a variety of cultural backgrounds live together. How can we actualize the sort of cultural policy that encompasses these various differences? By looking at philosophies and examples from home and abroad, we discuss a vision for the cultural policy required by Iwaki City going forward.
