\u201cWe have spent a great deal of time considering curating programmes that reflect the diverse interests of our audiences,\u201d said Karen Phillips, Director of North Lands Creative. \u201cThis project emphasises identity, community, and the variety in the cross disciplinary approach emerging from the field of international contemporary glass in the last few years. We are delighted to be given the opportunity to further develop our collaborations with our partners in Japan. The funding will enable us to develop stronger connections with the Toyama Institute of Glass Art and the Toyama Glass Art Museum. The project aims to deliver a cultural exchange using the platform of a Film Festival to appropriate glass artists\u2019 intersection and application with glass art, performance, digital and film. The residency will produce a very unique collaborative visual experience of film and glass to connect with existing and new international audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
