The Japan Foundation hosts a talk by Satoshi Ueda, a young man with a very personal connection to the 3.11 disaster in Tohoku. Although he himself was in Tokyo when the earthquake hit, his hometown of Rikuzen-takata was devastated, and sadly he was to lose his mother that day.

Katsumi Omori is one of the leading Japanese photographers working today. He has developed his career, displaying a distinguished technique and representation, by employing a seemingly straightforward action of documentation. His candid and faithful attitude towards his subjects and his unique sensitivity have won him acclaim both in Japan and overseas, receiving awards including the Excellence Award in the Canon New Cosmos of Photography in 1994.

From July 20th through August 7th, I will be having an art show at the Lewisham Arthouse Gallery in the Lewisham area of London. The show is titled “Leaving My Found Eden: A Poetography Exhibit.” It features the art form I call Poetography, in which I combine English-language tanka poetry with black-and-white photography.

The theme of the show focuses on the sadness of leaving the person and place you love. All the proceeds from the sales of the art will be donated to local non-profit organizations.

I also looking for some organizations I would like to support. I would like to dedicate one or more nights to your organization if you are willing to help get people to the gallery. The best way, I think, is to have one or two of your performers do read my poems. Having a professional read the poems would be much better than if I were to read them.

The roots of the economic miracle, the elemental mix of earth and sweat and smoke. Evan Osnos, China Correspondent for the New Yorker.

27 May - 2 July 2011

Ian Teh explores the industrial hinterlands of China’s far flung and impoverished provinces with unflinching precision and subtle intensity. From industrialization to pollution, these photographic works present the landscape as a repository for humanity’s endeavors, somehow a source of memory and a silent testament to our material desires. In the world’s most populous country Teh has made landscape pictures with close to no people in sight, letting the terrain speak for itself.

The I Value the Arts campaign aims to provide a voice for everyone who values the arts in their community and it has now received 16,430 pledges of support. This is great news, and a true reflection of how cultural services are an integral part of every community. However, in light of recent developments it is now more important than ever that everyone has the opportunity to sign up. I would like you to help raise the profile of the I Value the Arts campaign and get more people involved. It is vital that you get in touch with as many people as you can and ask them to pledge their support at www.ivaluethearts.org.uk

As you may know, the recent Comprehensive Spending Review left local councils facing an average cut of 28 per cent. The non-statutory status of local funding for cultural services has meant that the arts sector is left vulnerable to bear the brunt of these local authority cuts.
