2012年のロンドン五輪では文化プログラムのひとつとして障害のあるアーティストの創造性溢れる活動を支援するプログラム「アンリミテッド（UNLIMITED）」が大々的に展開されました。また、本年9月にはロンドンで「UNLIMITEDフェスティバル2014」が開催される等、現在もその成果が“レガシー”として発展し続けています。

In Open Talk 2020 Vol. 01, along with the introduction of "UNLIMITED," we will welcome Ms. Chisato Minamimura, a hearing-impaired artist based in the UK for more than 10 years, as a guest.
