Profile
Drifters International
Inspired by the idea of "drifting" to uncover hidden circuits in cities, it was founded by three directors: Akane Nakamura, Kaori Kanamori, and Tetsuhei Fujiwara.
It creates a meeting place for energetic expressions flowing from various genres such as architecture, performance, fashion, and art, and creates a time where direct, metropolitan, pop, and serious scenes are realized from a neighborhood back alley, or drifted overseas, and unseen expressions from overseas are drifted to Japan.
