Roppongi Art Night will be celebrating its 8th edition this year. This year’s theme “Mirai no Matsuri” (festival of the future) is held in the hopes of people coming together to enjoy art out on the streets of Roppongi like a “Matsuri ” and not confined by the walls of a museum. We welcome Mika Ninagawa as this year’s main program artist, and her bright, colorful works will be featured throughout the festival. Additionally, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN, we are excited to present the “Southeast Asia Project”. Culture is becoming more important in enhancing Japan’s presence in the global community, and we would like for Roppongi Art Night to become the key platform in strengthening the visibility of Tokyo’s creativity and showcasing it to the world.
