Calling for supporters to help create TURN Fes 5 !

The TURN art project generates artistic expression from encounters and interactions between diverse people which transcend differences in background and custom, including disability, age, gender, nationality, and living environment. At TURN Fes, held once a year at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the various Interactive Programs *1 from different regions and communities, and the artists and Interactive Program partner facilities who implement TURN LAND *2 are gathered together under one roof to present each of their activities in a variety of ways. This four-day event offers visitors the chance to have an immersive experience of TURN in their own way, through an exhibition of works at the venue, interactive programs, workshops, talks and tours. TURN Fes supporters are the ones responsible for creating an environment like this where visitors can relax and be themselves. Come discover diverse new encounters and experiences through TURN!

*1 TURN Interactive Program
This collaborative program brings about encounters between artists, welfare facilities and communities of people requiring social support, who go on to build relationships with each other. The program also involves artist-conducted research aimed at exploring the hidden issues in society and everyday life.

*2 TURN LAND
In this program welfare facilities and different communities organize participatory events together with artists. We create places to practise TURN on a daily basis, by giving the conventional functions of various spaces the added role of an open cultural facility where local residents can gather.

Description of duties

TURN Fes 5 set-up of venue, reception of visitors, venue guidance, operational support for interactive programs, care and help for people who require assistance, clean up etc.

*We are also seeking TURN supporters to help out with a variety of year-round activities, not just volunteers for TURN Fes 5.
