Tokyo Biennale 2023 is looking for members to work together on the "Slow Art Collective Tokyo" project.

This is a participatory art project in which the Slow Art Collective, an Australian art collective, will stay in Otemachi, Tokyo, and collaborate with citizens, children, students, and workers in the area to create an installation. Anyone who is interested in the activities of the Art Collective is welcome to participate. We welcome applications from anyone who is interested in "loosely connecting life and art," anyone interested in participatory artwork, anyone who is good at construction, who speaks English, who would like to experience a workshop, and who would like to make new connections.

All participating members will learn the Slow Art Collective's methods through interaction with artists and work together as art communicators to create a project for presentation at the Tokyo Biennale 2023's fall period (exhibition of results). We look forward to your participation!
