This is a four-day program for youth (13-22 years of age) to think about contemporary art in a setting that is neither school nor home. Participants will become Youth Ambassadors for the Theaster Gates: Afro-Mingei exhibition, and after a lecture about the exhibition by a curator, participants will work with museum staff to create an audio description of exhibited works for the exhibition. They will talk about Theaster Gates’ work in their own words, and these explanations created by the Youth Ambassadors will be made available at the exhibition venue end-July 2024 (TBC).

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; 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.
