Expression inconvenience exhibition Policy for resuming tomorrow Aichi Prefecture Oct. 7 18:32
It was found that Aichi Prefecture decided to resume on the 8th and told the people concerned about the corner on the theme of “freedom of expression” that was canceled at the International Art Festival in Aichi Prefecture.
At the international art festival “Aichi Triennale” that has been held in Aichi Prefecture since August 1, there was a corner to display a statue of a girl symbolizing the comfort women issue on the theme of “Failure in Expression”. A series of terrorist announcements and threatening telephone calls were canceled and were canceled three days after the opening.
About this corner, Aichi Prefecture will take measures such as handing out numbered tickets to people who have made reservations in advance while maintaining consistency between the state before the cancellation and the exhibition. Although we have been aiming for it, discussions on display methods etc. have been difficult, and the restart on the 6th and 7th has been postponed.
However, according to the officials, on the 7th, discussions for the resumption between the executive committee of the art festival and the members involved in the planning of the corner were completed. We decided to restart the corner on the 8th and communicated these policies to the people concerned.
The art festival will run until the 14th of this month, and the corner will be displayed in less than a week.
