Business Overview
With the village school of the Warli tribe living in the state of Maharashtra in western India as the stage, Japanese and Indian artists will stay and create murals and other works. School students and out-of-school children see murals painted on white walls every day. During the three-day art festival, the works will be open to the public for free admission. The aim is to convey the power of art to children, to communicate the local situation to the outside world, and to improve the education system and infrastructure. The theme of this 10th art festival sponsored by Wall Art Project is "Awakening of the Forest." In a Waruri village surrounded by jungle, the artists work with children growing up there. Invited artists: Maki Okojima (painter), Emiko Tsutsumi (printmaker), Ryo Matsuoka (artist), Kae Nan (dancer), Gauri Gill (photographer), Rajesh Chaitya Vangad (waruli painter)

Profile
【 Wall Art Project 】
Since 2010, he has held the Wall Art Festival and Earth Art Project in schools in India and Japan, inviting artists from Japan, India and other countries. It provides international support through art. In 2015, he started the Saw Project as a social sculpture in a Waruri village where he had been holding an art festival. Combining traditional Waruri construction methods with Japanese spatial design, he built a "house" as a base for his activities. With the keyword "Saw = knowing enough," it advocates "Saw Design," which is a design for living that circulates with biodiversity.
