I heART Japan

L'australia è vicina al giappone a causa degli eventi dell'ultimo mese hanno colpito profondamente questo paese. Ecco una bellissima iniziativa partita dal ceramista giapponese Kenji Uranishi che vive con la moglie a Brisbane.

Nei giorni seguenti i terribili eventi dell'11 marzo in Giappone, Kenji Uranishi e la moglie Sonia sono stati soprafatti dalla tristezza e da un senso di impotenza essendo lontani e non potendo aiutare. Canalizzando i loro sentimenti in maniera positiva, si sono rivolti al loro network di amici artisti in Australia.

In the days following the devastating 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Brisbane-based ceramic artist Kenji Uranishi and his wife Sonia felt overwhelmed with sadness and a sense of helplessness being so far away and inable to help. Turning their grief into positive action, a call went out to their network of artist friends and colleagues for help and was answered by more than 20 talented artists from around the country. What resulted was i heART japan, a beautiful collection of work including ceramicists, painters, photographers and designers to be auctioned on eBay over a 3 day period starting Thursday 7 April (8pm EST) and ending Sunday April (8pm EST) The work can be previewed on Facebook in advance HERE
Net proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Red Cross Japan and Pacific Appeal
