TURN FES 2

2017/03/01

Meeting and connecting with people from various backgrounds: a confluence of diverse types of interaction !

Under TURN’s interactive program, artists visit different locations catering to specific communities such as welfare facilities and educational support centers. The resulting interactions, which enriched the artists’ relationships with staff, people using the facilities and their families, will be expressed at this event in the form of art works and performance pieces, or presented as the interactions themselves.
Additionally, Sunday, March 5 will feature a conference with guests. Come experience firsthand the diverse interactions unique to a project created by all involved.
