让传承与创新在文明互鉴中生辉——“传承与创新：2019中国文联澳门视觉艺术人才赴日本访学交流活动”侧记

“非常感谢主办方对此次日本之行的精心安排。正是通过有效的学习和交流，让我对中国著名文化学者费孝通所概括的‘各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，天下大同’有了更深的理解。直至今日，我的内心仍然感到充实和美好。”5月25日，来自澳门科技大学的孟舒在“传承与创新：2019中国文联澳门视觉艺术人才赴日本访学交流活动（以下简称澳门五期）”结业式后，写下了这些感悟，这也是她第二次参加由中国文联港澳台办公室、澳门基金会、中国文学艺术基金会和中国文联文艺研修院共同举办的澳门系列访学交流活动。

5月12日至25日，澳门五期在日本举办。14天的访学交流活动先后在东京、大阪和京都开展，包括8次现场教学、8次专题讲座、1次学员论坛、1次使馆和文化中心拜访、1次出席日中艺术家新书发布会和2次座谈交流，学员们从政策、理论、市场和实操等多个维度了解了日本视觉艺术领域的发展情况，日本对艺术和文艺人才培养的重视，以及“以人为本”的艺术发展理念；学习了日本传统艺术的传承与创新发展之道，以及日本政府的重视和扶持政策。本次赴日访学活动的日程安排得到了澳门学员的高度评价，学员对整体安排的满意率为100%，为历届最高水平。

以“提优”为手段，严格提升访学质量，提高学员满意度

此次日本访学交流，现场教学机构既有日本文化厅等文艺政策制定和执行部门，也有多摩美术大学、武藏野美术大学等世界名列前茅的艺术教育学府，还有著名的美术馆和传统工艺工作坊等。为学员授课的专家、教授也不乏日本视觉艺术业界知名人士，如荣获过日本设计界最高奖项的色部义昭、武藏野美术大学校长长泽忠德等。很多课程结束之后，学员们都难掩兴奋之情，在日程评估里，学员们写下了如“色部义昭是日本当下最有代表性的设计师，能够请到他本人现场讲解他自己的创作理念，实在机会难得！”等评语。

除了专题讲座、现场教学外，澳门五期还创新了访学形式，授课教学和实地体验相互结合，有助于学员吸收和消化。我驻日使馆及东京中国文化中心深度参与此次访学活动。在日期间，学员们赴中国驻日本大使馆和东京中国文化中心进行参观和座谈，部分学员还将自己的创作作品赠予使馆和文化中心。使馆文化参赞石永菁热情接待了团组，并与大家座谈交流。东京中国文化中心主任罗玉泉、副主任马晓琛等为学员介绍了中日两国文化领域的交流合作情况，并勉励澳门艺术家为加强两国文化艺术交流做出贡献。澳门自在艺术有限公司艺术总监张玉廉在社交账号上写到：“十分荣幸随团前往中国驻日大使馆和东京中国文化中心拜访、座谈。个人作品有幸作为赠礼之一，也借机表达了自己传承与创新、弘扬中国文化的意愿。”访学团得到了中国驻日使馆、东京中国文化中心也对此次访学给予了认可与高度评价，使馆文化处的多名同事多次和学员一道参观学习，文化中心也欢迎澳门艺术家在东京举办作品展览，为今后的合作打下良好基础。

在东京访学期间，适逢日本建筑设计师隈研吾、旅居日本的中国艺术家王传峰和中国台湾当代家具设计师陈仁毅的《和而不同》新书出版祝贺会召开，全体学员受邀躬逢其盛。此次出版祝贺会规格较高，时任中国驻日本大使馆文化参赞程永华、日本前首相鸠山由纪夫和日本参议院议员等向新书出版发来贺电，新书的摄影作品由日本知名摄影师筱山纪信拍摄等。旅日艺术家王传峰在活动现场与学员互动交流，热情、坦率地分享了自己30年来在艺术道路上的求索与经验，以及在促进中日文化交流方面所做的工作与努力，并认真、耐心地回答了学员们提出的问题。澳门全艺社会员吴敏慧在评估问卷中写到：“本周最喜欢的活动是三位大师的新书祝贺会，有机会直接和王传峰交流，了解著名艺术家的生活、想法和创作历程。”

以“求精”为方向，打造严谨、高端、精彩的访学交流品牌

为了凸显针对澳门艺术人才培养“精”的定位，澳门五期在学员选拔、需求调研、课程设计和贯彻执行等各个环节均严格把关。在学员需求调研阶段，项目组通过线上问卷调研，以提出开放性问题的方式向学员们征集访学需求。

在课程设计过程中，研修院领导与日方协办机构驻北京地区负责人多次座谈、沟通，提出明确要求，对具体日程不断推敲，务使访学到访机构、院校、艺术家均达到“高规格、高层次”的要求。

访学期间，项目组每周一次向学员进行线上课程评估问卷调查，针对学员提出的意见建议进行完善。学员对访学的评价较高，澳门科技大学人文艺术学院助理教授闫少石在评估中写到：“此次日本访学，让我了解了日本对本土文化的保护和传承，更加坚定了我在设计中探寻澳门文化要素的信心，也对澳门的文化艺术发展，特别是我所在的文创产业领域，有了更清晰的思考。”

以“做深”为目标，扎实推广访学主题的影响力和影响范围

“传承与创新”是每一个文艺工作者发展、前行所面临的话题，是彰显一个地区、一个民族和一个国家优秀文化生命力和影响力，创造文化新辉煌所必须思考的问题。此次的日本之行主要在具有当代特色的东京与具有传统特色的京都两地开展，更是贯彻题中之义。

在东京，以设计、动漫、全息投影、当代艺术为考察学习重点，学员充分感受到了这座国际化大都市的时尚魅力、创造能力和创新活力；在京都，以传统手工业的保护、新产品开发和艺术的市场化运作为重点，引发了学员深入思考传统文化传承与时代发展需求之间的关系，思考文化艺术内涵的保留与形式创新之间的关系等。澳门视觉艺术产业协会理事长杨秀萍说：“我认为日本文化艺术的发展模式，对澳门平衡文化艺术的传承与创新，并在此基础上促进相关产业的发展等都很有启发。”

连续四年组织的面向澳门地区艺术人才的访学交流活动，既得到了参加活动的澳门学员的肯定和期许，也得到了澳门基金会、驻外使馆、中国文化中心单位的认可。今后会进一步丰富活动方式，如尝试组织澳门艺术人才在东京、澳门和北京进行学员成果展览，扎实总结、推广、共享四年来五期访学活动的优秀成果等；进一步发挥联络协调和团结引导的职能，吸纳澳门校友参与文艺研修院“铸梦计划”“携手铸梦工程”等方式，为不同领域的澳门艺术人才搭建跨领域、多层次的研修平台；进一步拓展“传承与创新”品牌覆盖面，围绕中央关于港澳台工作的总体部署，继续面向澳门地区艺术人才组织国内外访学交流活动，并尝试联络、组织面向台湾、香港等地艺术人才的交流活动。
