At the KG+ Information Center (Kurochiku Makura Building 1F), we will host events throughout the festival period featuring KG+ participating artists, including talks, lectures, and performances.

This is also a space where you can hear directly from the artists—in their own words—about what may not be immediately visible in the work itself: the background of their practice, the intentions behind their participation, and the process through which each exhibition takes shape.
By tracing the perspectives that connect to the “background” of each exhibition, we hope this becomes an opportunity for you to encounter new ways of seeing and sensing. Please feel free to stop by.
