• TURN FES 3──SEE・GET・TURN!
  The theme of TURN FES 3 was accessibility. Participants put their thoughts about accessibility into practice, whether through elements that were specifically inspired by the people they had met through TURN Interactive Program or by implementing programs featuring interactions at the venue. For example, we enhanced accessibility by means such as traveling with people who would have found it difficult to get to the venue due to physical disabilities or restrictions, introducing the use of various technologies and devising other strategies tailored to those people’s specific attributes.

• TURN FES 2 ── “Meeting and connecting with people from various backgrounds: a confluence of diverse types of interaction!”
  Under TURN’s Interactive Program, artists visit different locations catering to specific communities such as welfare facilities and educational support centers. The resulting interactions, which enriched the artists’ relationships with staff, people using the facilities and their families, were expressed at TURN FES 2 in the form of artworks and performance pieces, or even presented the actual interactions themselves. It was an event that gave people the opportunity to experience firsthand the diverse interactions that are unique to TURN. Details
