Hermès Foundation's Skill Academy at SKAC explores the connection between metal, body, and art.Summary
The Hermès Foundation's educational and cultural program, "Skill Academy," has opened at SKAC (SKWAT KAMEARI ART CENTRE) in Katsushika, Tokyo.
This program focuses on natural materials and craftsmanship. Following themes of "wood" and "earth," the 2025-26 cycle focuses on "metal." The exhibition aims to re-envision metal not merely as an industrial material, but as an element that connects the body, nature, technology, and art.
The event features results from workshops conducted with experts for junior and senior high school students, alongside a group exhibition titled "Connection" by four artists. The program is designed to be experiential, including various talk events and workshops.
