In this video from Tokyo Rising Pharrell visits Japan and investigates the reaction to the 3/11 events by Japan’s creative class. He features “ROLLS TOHOKU” a project started by Japanese photographer Hirano Aichi in which he has been giving disposable cameras to victims of the Tsunami—both children and adults. He posts their unedited images online. Some of the images have also appeared in galleries in Tokyo.
I love the idea of giving artistic tools to children as well as children collaborating with adults to create art. It could be really interesting to do a project like this in Los Angeles highlighting the differences in daily life and schools between children across the city.
