Forthcoming | The Parks of Aomame featuring Mire Lee: Okayama Art Summit

Mire Lee will be featured in the 2025 Okayama Art Summit. Inspired by Haruki Murakami's enigmatic character, Aomame, from his novel 1Q84, The Parks of Aomame will run through the city of Okayama. These interconnected parks, both real and imagined, will draw upon Aomame's silent struggles and her complex existence within two parallel worlds.

The Okayama Art Summit 2025 will transform the city into a realm in which reality and imagination blend seamlessly. This ambitious event will reimagine Okayama’s public spaces, forgotten corners and urban parks, creating a map of wonder.
This forthcoming summit is not simply a visual art exhibition.

At the heart of it is a curated Guild of artists, musicians, architects, designers, scientists, writers and thinkers from all over the world — each selected for their unique ability to inspire and provoke new forms.
