SEE, GET, TURN!

TURN Fes 3 will take place over three days, from Friday, August 18 through Sunday, August 20, 2017, bringing together TURN participants from each region for an exhibition of work, workshops and talk sessions, and various unique programs.

We want to start offering accessibility services that enable people to do ordinary things easily, regardless of disability or impairment.
Taking place for the third time, this year’s festival brings together TURN initiatives from each region, showcasing the fruits of ongoing exchange visits by artists to facilities providing support to people with disabilities and communities of people requiring social support. The expressive works exhibited are the product of the relationships forged by those artists with the people who use these places and the people who support them.
In addition, we plan to enhance accessibility by such means as traveling with people who find it difficult to get to the venue due to physical disabilities and the like, introducing the use of various technologies and devising other strategies tailored to those people’s specific attributes, and providing communicator guides to show people around the venue. Working with artists and partner facilities, we will spend three days creating the kind of diverse interactions that have come to be synonymous with TURN. Come along and experience it for yourself!

[Interactive Programs (all day)]
Performance art work: A Square of Light Emi Tomizuka + Madame Bonjour JohnJ
Kaze Aruki – Chu ni Noboru Kentaro Onishi + KOMONE FUKUSHIEN
