FY2022 2nd Term Grant for Artistic City
Business Overview
Now that we are being released from the coronavirus, in order to regain a place for children to freely co-create, we will hold an art event under the theme of "mini TOKYO" for 7 days, where children will take charge of art, manufacturing, and community development as "work" without interference from adults. A total of 1194 elementary and junior high school students participated (including related projects). Under the guidance of the architect, Tokyo motifs that children find interesting were collected, and children's imaginary pictures called "mini TOKYO" were created and reproduced in the metaverse. Children who experienced the metaverse built a town for children at the park site. Produced by artist Tomoko Renwa, the children worked through trial and error to create a powerful monument that is about 7 meters tall. In addition, art cars with Tokyo motifs by cyber artist Cyber Okan added color to the town. On the last day, a live performance by local artist "Zadicochix" was held. We celebrated the completion of "mini TOKYO" with local people.
