[Setouchi Triennale Official Tour]
This day-long tour takes you by charter boat and bus to Ibukijima and Awashima, the westernmost autumn venues. On Ibukijima, you'll encounter art that vividly reflects the island's history and culture, including a marching band re-created using recycled children's costumes. Next, travel by sea to Awashima, overlooking the Shonai Peninsula. On Awashima, new works by two leading artists in the contemporary Vietnamese art scene will be on display in connection with the Vietnam Project. Additionally, you'll see artworks tracing the island's memories, utilizing abandoned houses on the island and using disused boats and everyday items as materials. For lunch, enjoy the "Urara Ibukijima Bento," lovingly prepared by the island's mothers on Ibukijima, known for its high-quality "Ibuki Iriko" dried sardines. Furthermore, on Saturday, October 11th, you can enjoy a special a cappella performance at the official art festival event, "Setouchi Echo Heritage A Cappella Live!", on Ibuki Island, where buildings and spaces with unique acoustics will be named "Echo Heritage" and perform a cappella singing.
