For the fiscal year 2022, we invited project ideas under the same theme of the previous year, “Socially Engaged Art Project in the Covid-19 Related Chaos.” This year, the committee selected eight projects, which had been planned on the premise that they would be implemented under the epidemic. These projects cover themes derived from paying attention to the current society, such as communities, gender, harassment, migration issues. The selected projects will be presented as prototypes (pre-workshops, prototypes, lectures, videos, etc.) in FY2022.
