ICA Kyoto has offered an ongoing program of talks with guest artists, curators and researchers working in Japan and elsewhere. ICA Kyoto TALK is part of this program, and has now been integrated with the Global Art Talk initiative, which was previously conducted in conjunction with the Graduate School’s “Global Seminar” (2018–2025), forming a platform designed to connect Kyoto with diverse art scenes worldwide and encourage dialogue. The aim of ICA Kyoto TALK is to open up new perspectives by moving between local, on-the-ground activities and global trends to deliver authentic experiences of our multilayered world.
