Project Blue was invited to show its photos of the Sar-e-Sang lapis mines at the inaugural Kyoto YouMe Triennale. YouMe is a new international exhibition of art, design and craft,co- founded by the visionary Andrea Petochi, managing Director of Liberty, London and set in Shosei-en, the National Scenic Garden of Higashi Honganji, and Shigenobu Kaikan, a beautiful 1930’s building.
Curators from the UK , Italy, India, Qatar, and Japan staged shows.
Si Buxton’s photographs depicted Project Blue’s three day journey from Kabul to the epic mountains of Badakshan, the source of Ultramarine, the first True Blue.
From the symbol and typography to the exhibition graphics and catalogue, every element of the Triennale was designed to express the same underlying philosophy: that art and craft and design are most meaningful when they come together through making, conversation and collaboration.
