During an online talkshow held by KAIJIN Labs and Pusat Studi Jepang UI, we had a time to virtually sit down with W. David Marx to talk about the forecasting of Japanese fashion outside of Japan, the global pop culture system, to his suggestion for how we can set our sights on making things for the international audience.
We had a brief chat with the higher-ups of Study: Osaka Kansai International Art Festival, Daisuke Suzuki (General Producer) and Hiroaki Sumiya (Communications Director) to explore just how Kansai and Kanto regions share (and differ) in terms of creative pursuits.
During Study: Osaka Kansai International Arts Festival, we had an email interview with Teppei Kaneuji, artist and sculptor that is based in Kyoto, where we talked about how Kansai has this air of alternativeness that could be felt throughout the region—which also found its way to his crafts.
In Joyland Festival Jakarta 2024, we had a chat with Masaya Fantasista and Mikey Varot of Jazzy Sport on topics like their friends over in Indonesia, up to the philosophy embedded in the soul of Jazzy Sport.
After their mesmerizing gig at Joyland Festival's Plainsong Stage, we were also fortunate enough to have the chance to chat with them on topics from music, their creative decisions in producing crafts, up until anime.
