About the Event

Ahead of "Akan Ainu Art Week 2026" (AAAW), Shinjiro Nishino of GASBON METABOLISM — a member of this year's curatorial team — welcomes two Ainu artists active in the Akanko Ainu Kotan for a talk event at GASBON METABOLISM, the art complex he directs.

As a pre-event to deepen mutual understanding while shaping this year's AAAW together with the artists, the speakers will talk — following the 2026 theme "Pirkakarkar: On Making Something Beautiful" — about their own sense of "pirka," what they have made until now, and how they hope to enliven this edition of AAAW.

Held 1,500 km from Lake Akan, it is a talk that steps back to view culture and landscape from a slight distance.
