How have art projects in Japan responded to society? We learn how they came about.

We welcome three guests who have been leading various art projects for a long time and have opened up their own unique routes and ask them about their activities. We will consider the future for society and the form of art projects as we unravel our guests’ respective routes, including the historical backdrop and motivation when they began work on their projects, the changes that emerged over the project, and where they are now.
