In this fourth year of "On the Agenda of the Arts," we tackled the theme of cultural diversity by addressing issues shared across contemporary society and common even among those with varied cultural backgrounds through a series of dialogues, productions and exhibitions conducted in coordination with art centers around the world. This year's program, Silent Voice, even while penetrating sharply into historical and political issues that are ordinarily difficult to see, seeks to comment on how Asia relates to the world and its attitude toward artwork and art production by focusing on a female Asian artist, one who speaks not in shrill propaganda but with the deceptive calm of a level-headed individual. We believe that the attitude of which she speaks holds the key to how Asia relates to the world and to the state of its art, and represents a tremendous sense of values that Asia should communicate to the world.
