"Tohoku: Road to the Future" Art Show Comes to Rosarito Art Festival

San Diego, CA, May 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Relief 2.0, an organic movement of volunteers and organizations to promote efficient disaster response and sustainable disaster recovery will be running Relief 2.0 – Tohoku: Road to Recovery -- a photo and photography exhibit at Rosarito Art Festival. Paintings, photos and handicrafts will be available for sale at the show, and the proceeds empower the survivors to support themselves instead of relying on donations.

“Tohoku: Road to the Future” was first opened in Fukuoka by Nobel Peace Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus on July 19, 2012. This show has been to North and South America and across Asia since. This will be the 18th international show after completing the last show in Singapore.

Rosarito Art Festival is on May 25th and 26th, and the show will feature photos by Robin Low, co-founder of Relief 2.0, art work by Isao Hasagawa, artist and survivor of the Japan Tsunami. Photos are taken 10 days after the Tsunami and 1 year after to show the recovery of Japan. There will also be handicrafts and products made by survivors living in temporary shelters in Tohoku, the north east of Japan struck by the Tsunami.

“Japan’s progress is well on the way; however, many things still need to be done,” said Mr. Low. “I hope to share some of the innovation in processes and technology which helped with the disaster recovery process with the rest of the world, and would like Singapore International Foundation for supporting me on this trip.”

“Rosarito Art Festival is very fortunate to have artists like Robin Low to come and share international art with a good cause,” said Benito Del Aguila, one of the organizers of Rosarito Art Fest. “Art is a fantastic medium for us to learn and understand people from different countries and cultures, making the world into one big community.”
