Why Tokyo

“More than any other city, Tokyo demonstrates that "city" is a verb and not a noun” 

Tokyo is an exceptional choice for the "Art, Creative & Human for Tomorrow: Asia-Pacific Sustainability Symposium" due to its unique blend of tradition and innovation, making it a vibrant hub for cultural and intellectual exchange. This dynamic nature of Tokyo reflects its continuous evolution and adaptability, qualities essential for fostering meaningful regional dialogue.

​

 

The city boasts a rich cultural heritage, with historic shrines and traditional performing arts such as Noh and Kabuki coexisting alongside cutting-edge art and technology. This juxtaposition creates an environment ripe for creative collaboration and dialogue. Tokyo’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its daily living philosophy, which promotes harmony between urban living and nature. Such efforts not only preserve the environment but also engage local communities in sustainable practices, aligning perfectly with the symposium's goals of promoting sustainability in the Asia-Pacific region.

Themes

This year’s theme—“Art, Creative & Human for Tomorrow”—is particularly resonant as we navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing world. The challenges we face today demand creative solutions that are informed by diverse perspectives and collaborative efforts. We believe that art and creativity have the power to inspire change, bridge cultural divides, and foster a deeper understanding of sustainability in our communities.

​

It aims to foster a collaborative environment where scholars, practitioners, and representatives from the private sector across Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and Japan can engage in meaningful discussions.

 

This event will bring together renowned think tanks, universities, and cultural organizations to explore the integral role of arts and culture in promoting sustainability within our diverse societies.
