Kyodo 20_30 is an art project where we collaborate with youth aged 20-30 who will be responsible for our society in 10 years (in 2030).
Through various creations in regards to the “invisible borders/walls” which is the theme of Beyond Invisible Borders, we will have discussions and go through multiple processes for mutual-understanding.
This program is based in Kyodo, Setagaya-ku in Tokyo, and it encourages participants to collaborate (kyodo) with people with different identities through workshops and lectures, and reflect on our future community (kyodo-tai).
Kyodo 20_30 is looking for participants aged between 20 and 30 who will be responsible for our society in 10 years (in 2030). We call them “players”. Players are our members who will plan the project with our collaborators. If you become a player, it will be up to you how you will participate – whether you want to come up with your own program yourself, or you just want to listen to everybody else. Different ways of participation are welcome.

*If we receive more participation requests, we will speak with each of you to discuss your
purpose of participation and possible ways of participation.
Free
*We need participants to be able to join each session in person, as various workshops will be planned as in-person workshops. (However, it is possible to organize some of them online if social conditions render it difficult/impossible to organize in-person events.)
We will shift from in-person programming to online programming in any of the following situations:
– If governmental bodies ban/strongly discourage gatherings, for example by declaring a state of emergency.
– If any of the participants or Kyodo Atelier visitors were infected with COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
– If the project administrators have come to the conclusion to stop in-person programming in consideration of various social conditions including an increase in the number of confirmed cases in Tokyo.
