This program aims to promote efforts to advance initiatives that foster a harmonious society, serving as a lasting legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. In line with this year's theme, "Accessibility and Co-creation," the event featured exhibitions, engaging talk sessions, insightful lectures, and interactive workshops. These activities served as a platform for cultivating "new forms of communication" aimed at realising a harmonious society through the medium of art and culture.

The work raises questions about diverse perceptions, physical sensations, and communication with different people. A 3D printer installed in the centre of the exhibition was constantly creating works based on the inspirations Hiwa received during the exhibition. Photo 3-5: NISHINARI YOSHIO, "Co-Creation Activity" This exhibit reproduced the store scene of a fashion brand launched jointly by artist Yoshinari Nishio and the women (obachan) who attend the kioku handicraft centre "Tansu," a former wardrobe store in Nishinari-ku, Osaka. Innovative fashions were lined up, created from old clothes with the lives of local people sunk into them.

Also on display were several table games that could be enjoyed by using the senses of the fingertips, which visitors were able to experience firsthand.」9月26日 22時33分
