Today was the grand opening of Nakanojo Biennale 2011 for which PEPOMO are conducting the project Outsider Tourist Centre Nakanojo. Assembled at TSUMUJI – Nakanojo Creative Communication Centre – were a host of dignitaries, members of the press, organisers, artists, friends and families. Speeches were made to great applause and the pop popping flash-bulbs.
The programme of the evening focussed on talent local to Nakanojo, including performers of traditional Japanese music
and several dance troupes who braved the heavy downpour to dazzle the crowd with their moves. The evening was a great success. Testiment to the hard work that the organisers of Nakanojo Biennale 2011 and artists involved have put in. Thank you all for a wonderful time!
