Untitled Event
Ishin Denshin: Transmissions from the Heart
Ishin-denshin is a Japanese idiom that refers to "heart-to-heart communication" or shared mutual and unspoken understanding symbolically from the heart, or “uchi” (the inside). Art is an incomparable platform for universal communication between artists and community; it challenges us to look inward and to consider our interconnections and interdependence with others and the world through introspection and empathy. It also opens us up to curiosity, imagination, and possibility. The Japanese Arts Network is grateful for the opportunity to share the unique voices of Colorado artists as they share these heart-centered works.
