On May 29, internationally acclaimed contemporary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami will be in conversation with bestselling author and Japan scholar Pico Iyer.
Murakami is known for his bold, graphic works that merge fine art, design and animation and continue to blur the lines between high art and pop culture.
Iyer’s writings intersect with Murakami’s work in their focus on the common disconnect between local tradition and imported global pop culture.
The pair will discuss the complex social and historical narratives woven into Murakami’s work and how they reflect upon contemporary Japanese culture.
