Marcello Dantas, a renowned Brazilian curator celebrated not only for producing exhibitions, but also involved in filmmaking and opera production, talks about Japan House Sao Paulo and his plans as its director of programming and chief curator.
In a nutshell, what is Japan House?
Japan House is a place to inspire people with the contemporary ideas that Japan has developed. Those ideas can be artistic, design-focused, architectural, technological, environmental, social, political or traditional. Our goal is to inspire change and improvement in the countries where we play a role, and to change the perception of how the Japanese people feel they are seen and understood abroad. We aim to present a Japan that is original, but at the same time rooted in the Japanese way of seeing the world.
