Connecting with People who are <\/b>Aspiring to Live a Better Tomorrow<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The Yokohama Triennale is one of Japan\u2019s leading recurring international exhibitions, first launched in 2001. The 9th edition, scheduled for 2027, will mark its 27th year. On this occasion, we are revisiting and strengthening our commitment to the following four goals:<\/p>\r\n

In a time marked by unresolved global tensions, the rise of artificial intelligence, and widespread anxiety about the future, Yokohama Triennale believes in art\u2019s capacity to connect with all those aspiring to live a better tomorrow.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Embracing Yokohama\u2019s History and Culture<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Since the opening of its port in 1859, Yokohama has remained at the forefront of international cultural exchange, welcoming new ideas and influences from around the world. Today, it is the second-largest city in Japan,\u00a0 with a population of 3.77 million, and is home to 130,000 residents from 169 different countries. It is locally rooted in its history and culture, but simultaneously serves as a gateway to the world. The Yokohama Triennale will curate and develop programs that reflect and amplify the city\u2019s unique identity.<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    1. Connecting Yokohama\u2019s Resources<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      Yokohama initiated its \u201cCreative City Policy\u201d in 2004, aiming to promote urban regeneration through the arts and culture. As a result, alternative art centers have taken root citywide and continue to evolve. The 9th edition of Yokohama Triennale will closely connect Yokohama Museum of Art, its primary venue, with these partners to create a vibrant network of artistic highlights throughout the city.<\/p>\r\n

        \r\n\t
      1. Opening Our Doors to Everyone<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

        The Yokohama Triennale is committed to serving as \u201cthe best beginner\u2019s guide to contemporary art.\u201d Through a careful exploration of contemporary art\u2019s current trends, it aims to open up new ways for visitors to see and engage with the world. At the same time, it will endeavor to showcase works that can be enjoyed intuitively, responding to the desires of those who want to explore art for the first time.<\/p>\r\n

          \r\n\t
        1. Sharing the vision of GREEN\u00d7EXPO 2027<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

          The 9th Yokohama Triennale is set to coincide with GREEN\u00d7EXPO 2027, hosted by the City of Yokohama. Hence, the Triennale will share and strive to realize the Expo\u2019s vision which aims to\u00a0 \u201ccoexistence with nature and a sense of happiness as part of a new scenery of the future.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
