Aichi Triennial

Overview

The theme chosen for the 3rd Aichi Triennale was the humankind’s creative journey—or “caravan”—to the unknown, the kind of journey that invariably takes the form of an endless quest driven by curiosity.

As of June 30, 2015, the number of foreign nationals residing in Aichi Prefecture is 203,698. In terms of nationality, Brazil is the most common country of origin, accounting for 47,076 people or 23.1% of the non-Japanese population. A particularly large number of Brazilians live in the cities of Toyohashi and Okazaki, which are home to several of the Aichi Triennale 2016 sites. Several Brazil-based artists will take part in this edition of the arts festival, including João Mode (in the International Exhibition) who creates works in which anyone can participate.
