The Tokyo Biennale 2027 is calling for applications from artists and curators to engage with various local sites and their residents in Tokyo under the theme ‘From “Me” to “Us”’.
The designated project sites encompass ten diverse locations that shape the character of Tokyo. Tokyo Biennale 2027 will open up the foundational cultures that lie within Tokyo, passing memories of the past on to the future, and becoming a place of practice for living anew, not as ‘me’ but as ‘us’, in an age of division.
The call is open to artists, curators, researchers, collectives, and practitioners in related fields active both in Japan and abroad. Applications are accepted for both artwork production by artists and art project proposals by curators. Applications may be submitted by individuals or groups. Applicants must be able to participate in research, residency-based production, collaboration with relevant parties, and the presentation of outcomes in Tokyo.
Eligible projects are not merely exhibitions of existing works but must be developed through research, residency-based production, and engagement with people in Tokyo. A wide range of formats is accepted, including artwork creation, exhibitions, performances, video works, tours, workshops, participatory projects, research projects, and curatorial projects.
