Hiyaku - Artists Benefit Japan

11th Sep 2011

Presenter: Soyfish

Event Duration: 210 minutes

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, creating a devastating tsunami that swept over the northern part of Japan. About 23,000 people died or disappeared across Japan's northeast coastline and another 80,000 were forced to evacuate because of the radiation threat from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. Many livelihoods have been affected and it will be years before the region will experience full recovery.

Melbourne’s artists have come together to show that even after the crisis has moved off the front page, we continue to support the people of Japan.

Featuring the talents of:
* Dya Singh
* Fruit Jar
* SJ from Princess One Point Five
* Irene Vela
* Noriko Tadano
* Ria Soemardjo
* Snuff Puppets
* Wang Zheng Ting
* Yumi Umiumare
... and more

It promises to be a great event!

DOORS OPEN AT 2.30PM
