ART & THE WORLD: JAPAN – FOUR WEEK COURSE
🇯🇵 For centuries, Japan has been a powerhouse of cultural influence. Deeply rooted in culture, ceremony and meticulously-honed artisan skills, and with a history of tradition intersecting with radicalism and reinvention, Japanese culture is as diverse as it is inimitable, having long inspiring artists, designers, trade and society well beyond the country’s own borders.
Over four evening sessions facilitated by a specialist NGV educator, and with guest experts including NGV curators, participants will learn about Japan’s social, political and cultural history through a close study of the NGV Collection and the Kimono exhibition.
Enrolment includes private, after-hours access to the Kimono exhibition and course materials.
