2024
In June 2024, the World Bank held the Global Understanding Risk Forum in Himeji, Japan - a biennial conference that convenes experts and practitioners from around the world to showcase the best practices and latest innovations in the field of disaster risk identification and management.
I had the privilege of being a Creative Director for the UR24 Opening Ceremony. Creating this show has been a long and rewarding journey, where our aim was to craft a balance of Japanese tradition and innovation in the context of disaster resilience. The ceremony featured Shodo and Taiko performances, a keynote by the world-renowned architect Shigeru Ban, many inspiring speakers, original animations and custom-designed elements such as programmable Andon lanterns.
Thank you to the many talented people in Japan and worldwide who made this production possible.
