We published CCBT Annual 2022-2023, a report that comprises 1.5 years worth of our programs since we opened in Oct. 2022.
Civic Creative Base Tokyo has published Civic Creative Base Tokyo Annual Report 2022–2023, a comprehensive documentation of the various activities that CCBT organized over the roughly eighteen months from its opening in October 2022 until March 2024 (the end of fiscal 2023).
Along with introducing thirty-two projects and events held at CCBT, the report features interviews with artists and other participants. We hope the content conveys a sense of the forward-looking actions and social experiments carried out by CCBT, Tokyo’s new creative hub.
Physical copies of the report are available at CCBT as well as libraries at art colleges and museums around Japan, among other locations. It is also available to download.
