FY2024 2nd Startup Grant

Business Overview

-To examine and overcome the pain of our time through art.
Violence is now available to the world via livestream.
Confronting a devastated world as a contemporary and keeping an eye on its reality is painful, even if not as acute as the pain of those directly involved.
Despite bearing the weight of traumatic historical experiences, we create temporary spaces for dialogue through expression.
This creates an opportunity to maintain questions about humanity that transcend national, political, and religious boundaries and seek a better future.
Gaza-born photographer Amer Nasser introduces the expression of the resistance that is happening at the same time in Japan (Tokyo), starting with photos taken since October 2023.
Through diverse expressions, we aim to be a place where we can stand by others' pain and overcome it together.
