Theme Find new perspectives.In today’s world where information travels around at a dizzying pace, we tend to judge things from existing perspectives and jump to conclusions. Just as we walk from our usual position and climb a mountain or pass through a forest, a new landscape opens up below us.Contemporary art created using a variety of expressive techniques plays a role in broadening our field of vision. Our hope is to work with artists to create an art festival where you can encounter a variety of values, just as you take a trip away from your everyday life and experience the charms of Mt. Rokko. Initiatives for 2024 1. Enriching the number of exhibiting artists A total of 61 artists will be participating, including the largest number ever by invitation and public recruitment. Introducing the works of artists from Japan and abroad who are active from a wide range of perspectives. In addition, we will improve the conditions for accepting public works and invite and exhibit even more excellent works. 2. Enhancement of the base area that is a symbol of the art festival In 2023, we will further expand the outdoor art zone newly established at the ROKKO Mori no Oto Museum, and provide a place where you can appreciate art works throughout the year, even outside of the festival period. 3. Enhancing the trail area We have further expanded the trail area where artworks are exhibited along the walking paths in the mountains, allowing you to enjoy art appreciation and discover new charms of Mt. Rokko. 4. Creating opportunities for children to interact with art We will increase opportunities for children to experience contemporary art in nature through workshops and other activities, and foster the next generation of cultural and artistic leaders and supporters.
Development through observance and acceptance of greetings Mt. Rokko, known for its spectacular views, has been home to many different people and cultures since the Port of Kobe opened. The rich mountain forests that have been protected and nurtured are rich in history brought about by these people. Kobe’s diverse culture, exemplified by Hanshinma Modernism, has always been open to new things while renewing itself without losing sight of its essential values. Mt. Rokko, which is blessed with rich nature, must be passed down to not only Kobe citizens but all people as a mountain of peace, contact, and discovery while embracing the spirit of a port town. Our art festival, which started in 2010, will let more people know about Mt. Rokko, and will continue to grow in keeping with the times as a place to foster and share diverse and rich sensibilities through art. Mt. Rokko has many layers, so please take your time and enjoy the nature, culture, and art. General Director Kiyotaka Takamizawa
