Picture book artist unit tupera tupera and NIFREL announce their first collaboration, "You Too Are a Joyful Creature!" exhibition.

At Osaka's living museum "NIFREL," the exhibition "You Too Are a Joyful Creature!" by the unit tupera tupera, known for their diverse activities centered around picture books, is being held. [Exhibition Dates: March 6, 2024 (Wed) - January 13, 2025 (Mon, Holiday)]

The venue, primarily the "Wonder Moments" zone, will feature approximately 40 flat and three-dimensional works, including 10 new pieces by tupera tupera.
The works express commonalities between creatures and humans from tupera tupera's unique perspective, created with the desire to help visitors feel closer to the diverse and fascinating creatures.

The spatial design within the museum was handled by the design team minna, who also led the creative direction for "tupera tupera's Kaoten." They have produced the entire experience, from graphics to overall concept.

During the exhibition period, a workshop will be held where participants can combine tupera tupera's "creature illustration parts" to create masks and transform into joyful beings. After completion, visitors can explore the museum wearing their masks, likely drawing attention not only from fellow visitors but also from the creatures residing at NIFREL, as if they were a newly discovered species.

This exhibition, themed around the connection between creatures and humans, invites participation from both children and adults. It's an ideal destination for families and friends.
