Project Theme: “Ecology around the city”
Our environment is facing a huge turning point. Amid the decarbonization trend, recent trends such as questioning our assumption towards flying long distances by plane and the rapid diffusion of digitalization have had a great impact on our society, as well as on our lives and mentalities. Environmental issues were taken up gradually in the 1970s, and in the 1990s, various frameworks against global warming were formulated. French thinker Félix Guattari suggested the idea of “écosophie,” a word coined by combining “écologie” and “philosophie,” in his book entitled “Les trois ecologies” (first published in 1989). Using this word, Guattari raised the necessity to perceive ecology as a complex notion which spans three domains, including not only the global environment but also the social and human spiritual environments.
Tokyo is faced with multiple dangers of natural disasters: there is a 70-percent probability of a massive earthquake occurring beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area within 30 years, and approximately a third of Tokyo’s 23 wards are at risk of being flooded due to a storm surge caused by a “super typhoon.” By considering topics around this city’s ecology such as the relation among nature, society, and people as well as the balance and challenges between economy and ecology from various aspects, the set of values, thoughts embedded in the people, and even a picture of society as a collective may emerge. Such discoveries may lead to obtaining clues for a co-existing future among various environments.
TOKAS now calls for creators from various backgrounds who will work on the theme and seek to actively exchange ideas on the cultural differences in thoughts, recognitions, actions and languages while engaging in creative activities in Tokyo/Japan during their stay at TOKAS Residency from May to July 2023. We hope that the program provides an opportunity to examine the underlying phenomena of our customs and societies in the metropolis Tokyo, a city where diverse identities intersect, through the framework of ecology around the city.
