Take a nighttime walk around the city with SIDE CORE on this tour rediscovering the new CCBT neighborhood of Harajuku.

In conjunction with the SIDE CORE exhibition Shin Road, held to mark CCBT’s relocation, this event takes participants on a nighttime walking tour to rediscover CCBT’s new neighborhood of Harajuku.

Such city walks occupy a central part of SIDE CORE’s practice as an art collective, actively engaging with and rediscovering urban space not as something that functions only for people but as a place where ecosystems beyond the human also exist. By offering a vicarious experience of SIDE CORE’s unique perspectives on urban space, this night walk provides the opportunity for participants to update their images and attitudes toward the city, and find ways to interact with it more freely.

SIDE CORE

Featuring Takasu Sakie, Matsushita Tohru, and Nishihiro Taishi, SIDE CORE launched in 2012. Harimoto Kazunori also participates in the collective as a video director. SIDE CORE create works based on the question of how an individual can go about sending messages in the city and public space, by referencing the ideas and history behind street culture. They sometimes collaborate with artists working in other genres to create a variety of works in the blind spots and interstices of the city. Recent major exhibitions include “Living road, Living space” (21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, 2025), “SIDE CORE|Concrete Planet” (WATARI-UM, The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art and outdoor, Tokyo, 2024), “Hyakunengo Art Festival” (Chiba, 2024), “8th Yokohama Triennale “Wild Grass: Our Lives”” (Yokohama, 2024).
