"Jazz Is Life Community Dialogue: Innovation & the Art of Future Building" Symposium
Japan Society Gallery
This event has ended.
Innovation, improvisation and collaboration are critical ingredients for recovery. New approaches to problem-solving in Japan and the United States are helping people envision a better future, whether it's a community coping with natural disaster or an individual rebounding from homelessness. These symposia explore the art of recovery from a range of different perspectives, keying off of conversations with members of the U.S.-Japan Innovators Network, including Rosanne Haggerty, founder of the supportive housing non-profit Common Ground Community, Kohei Nishiyama, CEO of design-to-order company elephant design, Marty Ashby, Executive Producer of MCG Jazz, and Jay Weigel, Executive/Artistic Director for the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans. Co-organized with MCG Jazz, Contemporary Arts Center, The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.
Followed by a reception.
