International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Naoshima Island! From April 20, 2024 (Saturday) to May 31, 2024, a new project of “Walk in Her Shoes 2024”, “Let’s Walk and Draw “C” on the Earth! Let’s start GPS art!
Walk in Her Shoes 2024″ is an international cooperation program to raise awareness about global water issues and the current situation of women and girls in developing countries by simply walking at a time and place of your choice. Let’s draw the “C” of CARE with GPS art and send it to the world!
This course takes visitors on a walking tour of Naoshima Island where you can draw GPS art. In the Middle Ages, Naoshima made its living by salt manufacturing and fishing, but in the Taisho era (1912-1926), it was transformed into a corporate castle town by attracting copper refineries. After the Showa period (1926-1989), the population declined due to modernization and the slump in the international price of copper, and the town changed its policy to become a tourist resort. Today, the island is world-famous as an island of contemporary art. Please try it when you visit Naoshima Island!
