With public schools as activity bases, artists from Japan and India will hold public creation projects, performances and workshops. Each artist will unearth stories from the Ladakh region of India, and create works with energy and enthusiasm while exploring possibilities of art that can lead to a happier future. Yusuke Asai, an artist living in Tokyo, will create “earth paintings” using the local soil as his material, and convey the blessings of the land in murals covering entire classroom walls. Anpu Varkey, from Bangalore, will sprinkle art through the community and get people involved. Tushar Vayeda and Mayur Vayeda, members of the indigenous Warli community, will reproduce local legends using ancient Warli painting methods. At LAMO (http://www.lamo.org.in), a gallery in the city of Leh, Yusuke Asai will present workshops and talks and explain the current situation of contemporary art in Japan. Performances of works by Tokyo composer Tomoko Momiyama and Tokyo video artist Kazune Yahikozawa, who were invited creators in the previous Earth Art Project in 2014, will increase understanding and awareness of the possibilities of diverse art forms.
