On Wednesday, August 8, the festival will celebrate “Chicago Consular Corps Day” in honor of the 80 countries that make up Chicago’s Consular Corps and to commemorate the all-inclusive international relationships that CSCI creates around the world.
Performance schedule : Wednesday, August 8
This year’s festival also includes a special photography exhibition in the lobby of the Daley Center presented by the Osaka, Japan Committee of CSCI, 絆 Kizuna: The Bonds of Emotion. The exhibit is curated from photographs taken in the Tohoku region of Japan by photojournalists from Nikkei, Inc. in the immediate aftermath of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami, along with images of the ongoing recovery efforts. Photographs of the unfolding catastrophe are paired in a subtle manner with a related photo of the recovery process. The exhibit vividly illustrates not only the human element of the tragedy, but also the optimism and resilience of the Japanese people as they courageously struggle to rebuild their lives."
