This is a related event to the Setouchi City Museum of Art's summer special exhibition "Kosei Komatsu: Mobiles of Light and Shadow - The Sea Rises, The Sky Falls." We will provide an opportunity to learn about the local sea through workshops, games, tasting sessions, and a market, with participation from organizations related to the local sea (fisheries cooperatives, fisheries research institutes, etc.) and local high school students. Additionally, a stamp rally visiting three facilities – the Fisheries Research Institute, Ushimado Telemoque, and the museum – and an evening theater screening of "Here, Alive ~ Guided by the Disappearing Kelp Forests ~" will be held. This is an event where people of all ages can learn about the sea while having fun.
