This year, Takashi Kuribayashi + Cinema Caravan and Tomoko Konoike, both acclaimed contemporary artists active internationally, will serve as main artists. Under the theme "An Encyclopedia of Urban Creatures," the event will explore the interconnectedness of life in the city from the perspective of nature's grand cycles and rhythms, fostering an awareness of diverse connections we might otherwise overlook. Works will unfold across Roppongi, featuring these main artists alongside emerging talents. The program will encompass contemporary art, design, film, performance, and online content.
