The Setouchi Triennale is an art event held on 12 islands in Japan's Seto Inland Sea every 3 years. At each Triennale, there are Spring, Summer and Fall shows. This year, the island of Shodoshima was the stage for a number of practical projects that shared the theme of "design for revitalizing local areas". Our host Andrea Pompilio visited the island to see these projects, and we are presenting his report as a 3-part special. In this, the 3rd part, he looks at "The Island Lab", an art project initiated by a creative unit known as graf. The project began as an effort to reexamine the "shapes" of Shodoshima's history.
