Turn in Brazil

Part of the cultural side of preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Katsuhiko Hibino-run Turn project is aiming to form and deepen community ties among people from differing backgrounds and cultures. This programme recounts the Turn in Brazil event, which took place this summer and saw artists from Japan and Brazil come together in São Paulo to visit local welfare facilities and engage their residents through the medium of Tokyo's traditional crafts. Composed of art inspired by these interactions, which was also exhibited in Rio during the Olympics and Paralympics, the thought-provoking display looks back at the lessons of Turn in Brazil and explores the connections between art, design and disabilities.
