Community Engagement Program
“Art Camp for under 22 Vol. 9 - IN/BETWEEN: Connecting Museums” (Four-day Program)

Conducted in Japanese

Once again, this program jointly run by the Mori Art Museum and the Sakamoto Zenzo Museum of Art and now in its second year will recruit participants aged 13-22 and connect the museums in Roppongi and Oguni online. This year's iteration of the program will turn its gaze on the collections of both museums to ponder the “research,” “collecting,” and "conservation" that are all vital art museum activities. Over four days, participants will meet with artists and museum staff, discuss art in their own words, and get to know others through the viewing and appreciation of art.
This joint program will be maintained as a prelude to a Sakamoto Zenzo Museum of Art exhibition on the theme of “Saying that You Like What You Like” slated for 2023, with participants helping to put together the exhibition.
Don’t miss a great opportunity to build online connections through art with art lovers from different parts of the country, and turn your thoughts to making an exhibition.

About “Art Camp”

Over the years, Mori Building Company and the Mori Art Museum have collaborated with artists from across the globe to run a variety of programs at the Museum and out on the streets. Summer 2018 saw the launch of a new “Art Camp” program targeting younger art-lovers aged 15 to 22; giving them the opportunity to discuss “contemporary art” with artists and curators in a different environment from the usual school format of “teacher” and “taught,” employing the Museum and entire Roppongi Hills neighborhood as a canvas. Talking with others encourages participants to think about current happenings at home or school, historical events, social, political and cultural developments in the wider world, and the connection of all these with contemporary art, helping them to explore interesting and enjoyable aspects of contemporary art.
