Meet Japan’s Next Gen quilt and fiber artists and study their exquisite quilt art. Japan’s history and cultural norms set very clear rules for who is and who is not considered a master, and this lecture will explain why and how that happens. But in the Japan 2.0 universe, there is a community of quilters and fiber artists for the 21st century who are operating outside the rigid cultural lines of the traditional master/student relationship. They are turning those norms upside down and creating original, modern quilts with a global eye while still managing to reference the Japanese aesthetic.
