SIAF2017 Special Big Band / Executive Committee

SIAF2017 Special Big Band (Project Team)

SIAF2017 Special Big Band is an allegory for the organizing team of SIAF2017. The Band Master, Otomo Yoshihide will lead a team made of members with various backgrounds and expertise, and together they will organize SIAF2017. This band is more like the accompanying music for a bon dance, which is the Sapporo International Art Festival. Once this dance begins, the focal point shifts from the band to each of the dancers, in other words, the participants.
