In 2019 the POW! WOW! event returned to the Asian mega culture, Japan. Curated and directed by @emiriokamoto, Okinawa was the city that played host to the event making POW! WOW! 2019 a coastal experience. Featuring artists such as Jason Keam, Tatiana Saurez, Towmei Kaisen, Super Deux, Denpa, 123klan, Cab, and Laurence Vallières, the diverse artworks represented a cultural mixing pot of ideas and techniques. It didn’t just stop at art. The usual festivities were naturally complemented by skateboarding, BMX, dancing and artist talks.

The artworks were a mirror of the color and vibrancy of the event. Excluding those works in black and white by Denpa that were just as dynamic. The beach made a perfect base and backdrop as the final stages of the event were spent by the artists resting by the barbeque listening to the music and waves sooth their creative fatigue. Another great year for POW! WOW! and another exceptional cultural happening for Japan.
