About the foundation
The Tokyo Biennale is a recurring international art festival that emphasizes site-responsive practices and community engagement. Since its inception, it has sought to decentralize the art experience, moving beyond traditional museum spaces into the diverse neighborhoods of Tokyo. The biennale's ethos is rooted in the belief that art can catalyze social dialogue and foster a deeper understanding of local contexts. By inviting artists and curators to create works that respond directly to specific sites, the biennale aims to create meaningful encounters between contemporary art and everyday life.

Artists and curators interested in proposing site-responsive projects should first familiarize themselves with the biennale's past editions and its emphasis on community collaboration. Proposals should demonstrate a clear understanding of the specific site and its social dynamics, and articulate how the project will engage with local residents. It is advisable to visit the site if possible and to build in time for research and relationship-building. The selection committee looks for projects that are not only aesthetically compelling but also ethically grounded and sustainable in their engagement.
