Cultural Revelations with Aarin Packard

About this episode

Aarin Packard discusses the impact of culture on bonsai and shares insights on an upcoming exhibition at the Pacific Bonsai Museum.

It might be an American thing to try and define how culture impacts bonsai, or it might just be a reality of this very deep artform we all love. Aarin Packard, curator of the Pacific Bonsai Museum in Federal Way, Washington, joins Ryan to discuss the subject and interviews Ryan about his thoughts for an exhibition the Pacific Bonsai Museum is working on in conjunction with this year’s World Cup. Aarin selected seasoned and respected bonsai personalities from around the globe to see just how present culture is in bonsai. His insights and shared tidbits are a tasty appetizer for what he’s got brewing later this year. We are excited to see what Aarin and his team discover, and honored to be involved. Take a look at some of the Pacific Bonsai Museum’s past exhibitions. Find out how you can contribute and take part.
