For this, the second triennale, we have selected “The Arts ‒ Grounded in Region” as the theme, and invited curators from Santa Fe (U.S.A.), Australia, Taiwan, and Japan with the hope of introducing the characteristics of the respect ive folk art, Indigenous art, contemporary crafts, and design of the various regions. By comparing the arts of regions differing in history and culture, the viewer will have the chance to examine the possibilities for expression in each area.
The International Triennale of KOGEI in Kanazawa is the evoluti on of “the International City of Crafts Conference in Kanazawa” and “World Crafts Competition in Kanazawa,” whose inception dates back to the Declaration of an International City of Crafts in 1995.
