ENGLISH RESUME

HANDY JAPAN is an event that aims to show, sell, share and demonstrate japanese inspired creations. It tries to deconstruct the "arts&crafts" concept by exploring the performative act of art creation and the crafts way of manufacturing objects.

For one day (24th May 2008), the gardens of Palácio de Cristal (Porto, Portugal), will be a stage, an happening, a fair, a school, a showroom of ideas that search for the combination of two cultures. We asked the invited artists/creators to produce/show their work, having in mind a japanese inspiration.

HANDY JAPAN was an invitation from the city hall to be part of "Japão no Porto" (Japan at Porto), a commemoration of the 30 years of friendship between two cities: Porto and Nagasaki. During May 2008, a series of events take place along the city of Porto. Check the pdf with the program (portuguese version only).
