Join us at the NowHere SoHo Gallery for a presentation event, “Art and Storytelling with Geographical Informatics”, hosted by Kyoto University IMS (Innovation Management Science). This event showcases the possible intersection of cities, geography, and storytelling from the fresh perspectives of high school and early university students.

Highlights:

Theme: Exploring Geographic Information Storytelling and Emergence of Youth

Focus: Students will present their storytelling projects, integrating regional and global narratives through the lens of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), reflecting the Gen Z viewpoint in Japan.

Presentations:

Six talented students will share their insights on various subjects, including Kyoto’s transportation systems, world religions, and the culinary contrasts between Japanese and NYC cultures, using platforms RE: EARTH (https://reearth.io/) and/or PLATEAU (https://www.mlit.go.jp/plateau/). These presentations are part of a program of Kyoto University and their visit to NYC, but the event is open to the public.

Guests:

Steven Feiner: Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University

Kazuya Mori: Consulate General of Japan in New York
