Minatomachi Orai Wonder Lala Project 09 invites artists from around the world born in port cities to exhibit their work in collaboration with domestic Japanese artists using the entire harbor district of Yokohama as a stage. This event marks the 150th anniversary of the opening of the port of Yokohama in October 2009.

This pre-event will be held in October 2008, focusing on the themes of port towns, immigration, and contemporary paths towards the future. The project will be participatory and hands-on, promoting dialogue with the audience. Works that condense the essence of the project will be on display, and workshops, performances and talks will also be held.
Since the dawning of modernity, Yokohama has been a city where diverse forms of thought and viewpoints on the world and their attendant ways of life have intersected. Working from his historical context and the present state of Yokohama, participating artists will transcend national boundaries in an effort to aim towards...what exactly? This pre-event hopes to provide some answers.

Venue: Yokohama ZAIM Cafe Annex http://zaimcafe.com/annex/
