Comments from the juries / FY2021 Socially Engaged Art Support Grant

For fiscal year 2021, we invited project ideas under the theme of "Socially Engaged Art Projects Under the New Coronavirus Epidemic” in light of the current situation of the spread of the new coronavirus. Nine diverse projects were selected, covering themes such as the state of communities in the Coronavirus epidemic, the current state of the nuclear accident, gender issues, the socially vulnerable, and minorities. The FY2021 selected projects will be presented as prototypes (pre-workshops, prototypes, lectures, videos, etc.) in FY2022.
In the fourth year of the program, fiscal year 2021, nine projects were selected from 69 applications (14 from overseas and 55 from within Japan) through an open call and screening process.

For this selection, the selection impressions of 6 judges are posted.
The full text of the judges' impressions is posted in the PDF file.
