MAFIN, the contemporary art festival from April 26
Written by ART Driven Tokyo
Art comes to life on the island of prayer.
Mixed with the scent of the sea,
the voice of creation, connecting the past with the future.
MAFIN (MIYAJIMA ART FESTIVAL IN THE NARRATIVE), a contemporary art festival, will be held in Miyajima, Hiroshima, with the keywords “prayer, peace, and time”. The exhibition will present works that resonate in the unique space of Miyajima. The main venue is the Daisho-in Temple, which has a 1200-year history.
Highlights
Hiroko Kubo‘s sculptures reconstruct mythical images.
Chim↑Pom from Smappa!Group, whose projects intervene in contemporary society and continue to raise questions.
An exhibition by Kana Kou（1975-2020), who loved Shodoshima.
