Overview: 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 program, the 2nd part, he looks at an innovative public space that's bringing people together: Umaki Camp. It's a self-build, low-cost design concept that is acting as a new style of town hall. Umaki Camp has helped enliven local residents - tune in to find out how!
