The festival continues the theme of ‘IDENTITY CODE: Nation, Culture, Politics.’ Globally, identity is based on three key concepts: identity, continuity, and self-awareness. Visitors to the exhibition will experience this in Tokyo, where artists from different countries with very contrasting cultures will be presented, but they will also see what unites them. It will be an incredible feeling of contemplation and the formation of a possibly completely new idea.
