Since then the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 and war have shown us just how inextricably interconnected our world has become. For the 8th edition, we once again welcome as artistic director a team that is active on the global stage, and with them we look forward to creating an event that is open to the world and that takes advantage of our port city&#8217;s role as a crossroads of people and culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Liu Ding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mt-image-right\" height=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/news\/2022\/12\/img\/LIU-Ding_cap_EN.jpg\" alt=\"LIU-Ding\" style=\"float: right; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;\" width=\"40%\" \/>\r\nLiu Ding is an artist and a curator.

A &#8220;festival&#8221; is an occasion that stimulates and seeks to extend not just collective affinity but also collective zeal.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLike globalization itself, both can engender new friendships and new conflicts. If so, we must ask ourselves what kind of message could be delivered from a &#8220;festival&#8221; that is informed by the spirit of a &#8220;port&#8221;?<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOnce again, for our 8th edition we welcome artistic directors who are active globally, and with them we look forward to engaging with the world through art.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 8th Edition of Yokohama Triennale (Yokohama Triennale 2023) Artistic Director LIU Ding [Artist, Curator] C [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"cat_news":[2],"class_list":["post-1235","news","type-news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","cat_news-information"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1235"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1241,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1235\/revisions\/1241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_news","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yokohamatriennale.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_news?post=1235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
