Participatory events for a biennale artist Adam Roigart’s Sanpo Project.

Roigart has long focused on overlooked corners of the city, exploring ways of intervening in these places through gatherings. In this project, participants will visit forgotten spaces scattered across Tokyo with him, assemble simple structures on site (such as tables or benches), and experience a form of temporary “hacking” and collective “hosting.”

These walks into what could be called “non-places” aim to share the latent potential of each site and open it up to new relationships. At the same time, they naturally question themes that Adam has consistently been interested in: caring for places, access from the public, hands-on design experiences, and the joy of working together.

Through this project, participants will engage with each site directly, while also sharing new experiences and stories with one another, creating connections between people and place.
