Project ThemeResearching Art, Economy, and Life in Global Platform Cities & Building International Networks
This project explores the multifaceted interactions and structures between art, design, craft, and economic activities within global cities, centered on New York. Through local fieldwork, I aim to establish international networks with artists, curators, and cultural institutions while exploring sustainable models for cultural initiatives.
As a core activity, I will present my previous projects using an archive book to facilitate professional dialogue and deepen insights through direct engagement. Through this research, I seek to build a foundation for inviting international artists to Japan in the future, while acquiring the practical expertise and communication skills necessary to successfully implement and develop my own projects abroad.
