    • The Liberation of Individual Cultural Vernacularity: Emancipating Citizens’ Subjectivity through Art Peer-reviewed International journal

      Resilience As Heritage in Asia   129 - 152   6 2025

      I address the recent socially engaged art (SEA) movement in Japan, not only as art history, but also from citizen and community-based perspectives, focusing on its strengthening of vernacular heritage resilience. First appearing in Japan in the 1950s through the 1970s, and developed during the 1990s, after 2000 SEA particularly flourished in community-based art projects. Utilizing local vernacular architecture, they engaged with central and local administrations, nonprofit organizations, participants, residents, and volunteers. SEA, now considered a method of local revitalization, however, has been criticized for ignoring art’s capacity to liberate diverse subjectivities. Using participant observation and interviews, I show how new SEA actively emancipates those subjectivities. Against the stereotype of Japanese homogeneity, SEA encourages the resilience of individual cultural vernacularity.

    • Listening to Urban Spaces : Artistic Explorations of Heterotopia Peer-reviewed International journal

      Koizumi Motohiro

      Journal of Arts and Cultural Management17 ( 1 ) 131 - 153   4 2024

      The focus on urban policies that leverage creativity, including arts and culture promotion, has been consistently growing in recent times. What should be focused on, especially from the perspective of arts management and cultural policy, is the trend toward focusing on creative city policies to promote the characteristics of one's own region, attract people to the region, and revitalize industry through arts and culture. These policies have been supported by various arguments that have asserted the superiority of the creative city. On the other hand, however, political and social challenges have also been pointed out in relation to creative city policies. Previous discussions on issues have pointed out that policies tend to exacerbate capital inequalities and risk promoting gentrification, unaffordability, segregation, and inequality. In addition to the discussions, from the perspective of the sociology of cultural production, this paper points out that the creative cities have inhibited and marginalized people's democratic practices of cultural expression, complexity, and vernacularity. On the other hand, it also points out that art projects with citizen participation have the potential to elicit cultural production and social networks that can counter these challenges. This study uses the results of a field survey through purposive sampling and participant observation at the “Tokyo Festival” and in Toshima City conducted between April 2016 and March 2021.

      예술문화 진흥을 포함한 창의성을 활용하는 도시 정책에 대한 집중은 최근 지속적으로 커지고 있다. 특히, 예술경영과 문화정책의 관점에서 주목해야 할 것은 예술문화를 통해 자신의 지역 특성을 알리고 사람들을 지역으로 유인하며 산업을 활성화하기 위한 창조도시 정책에 집중하는 추세이다. 이러한 정책은 창조도시의 우월성을 주장해 온 다양한 주장들에 의해 지지를 받아왔다. 그러나 다른 한편으로는 창조도시 정책과 관련하여 정치적, 사회적 이의도 지적되고 있다. 쟁점에 대한 기존의 논의들은 정책이 자본 불평등을 악화시키는 경향이 있으며 젠트리피케이션, 비가용성, 분리, 불평등을 조장할 위험이 있음을 지적했다.
      본 논문은 논의 외에도 문화생산 사회학의 관점에서 창조도시가 사람들의 민주적인 문화표현, 복잡성, 고유성을 저해하고 주변화하였음을 지적한다. 다른 한편으로는 시민이 참여하는 예술 프로젝트가 이러한 도전에 대응할 수 있는 문화생산과 사회적 네트워크를 이끌어낼 가능성이 있음도 지적한다. 본 연구는 2016년 4월부터 2021년 3월 사이에 진행된 ‘도쿄페스티벌’과 도시마구에서 의도적 표집과 참여자 관찰을 통한 현장조사 결과를 활용한다.

      This paper critiques conventional theories that emphasize the economic role of the “Creative Class” in urban revitalization, arguing instead for broader recognition of everyday citizens’ creative contributions. Drawing on Illich’s concept of a “convivial society,” the study highlights how citizen-led art projects (APs)—especially in Asian creative cities—foster community engagement beyond industrial productivity. Through a literature review and fieldwork in Japan’s Echigo-Tsumari Art Field, the paper explores how APs, facilitated by artists, can activate citizens’ creativity and promote cultural sustainability. It calls for shifting focus from elite creativity to inclusive, citizen-driven participation as essential to forming resilient and flourishing societies.

      The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between society and community-based arts projects in recent years. Since the 1990s, community-based art projects have been increasing in number in Japan. For example, Museum City Project; since 1990, Toride Art Project; since 1999, Beppu International Art Festival: Mixed Bathing World; since 2009; these are only a sample of the recent surge of those projects. These projects tend to focus on Socially Engaged Art; activities such as collaboration with the public and direct engagement with specific social issues. The paper provides perspective on how arts and society are inter-connected in these projects, with reference to the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial that has been in existence since 2000 and also discusses what is necessary to gain a good balance in the relationship between society and community based-arts projects.

    • Resilience as Heritage in Asia International journal

      Resilience as Heritage in Asia analyzes forms of collective resilience through manifestations of strength-in-fragility in selected communities in Asia (Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand). Persistent resistance to communal erasure taking place through repressive policies and commercialized, multinational urban development insensitive to local communities and values often presents an uphill battle. Some of these collective efforts to survive through persistent everyday actions, encounters, and constant struggles have successful outcomes, while others are ephemeral at best. The authors argue that persisting vernacular spaces located between resistance and co-optation are themselves a form of local cultural heritage in the rapidly urbanizing region. Recognizing these nonconformist forms of resilience as heritage acknowledges the creativity involved in challenging social and political inequalities. Supporting the cultural autonomy of local communities by acknowledging resilience as heritage contributes to social justice in the region.

      This study surveys the social and cultural roles of Art Projects (APs) in local communities. This was accomplished by examining an AP using field research and interviews with the artists and local residents. APs are cultural movements, which develop creative activities centred on art, featuring civic participation. They not only use cultural facilities, but also utilize social spaces, such as closed schools and abandoned residences. Recently, APs have increased in number in Japan, fueled by strong connections with community revitalization. This study shows that APs can foster new citizen-led cultural and societal engagement. In this process, each citizen's creativity plays a significant role, not just the input of the artists. However, since only perceiving the artists as a “creative class” may risk reducing the possibilities of citizens’ creativities, paying close attention to the diverse viewpoints of the all AP participants, not only artists, is highly suggested.

      The association between cultural capital and social capital were examined by means of two social surveys in a classical music festival. Besides, the attitude of art for arts' sake, and the social identity and mental health, of the audience were examined.
      Mainly, two social survey was conducted. One is the survey for general audience in "Saito Kinen Festival, Matsumoto (SKF)" and the other is the survey for junior high school students who attended the student program of SKF. The latter enabled us to examine the association described at the beginning in the middle of developmental process.
      As a result, we found the strong association between the initial contact to classical music and the preference in classical music, and the strong association between the initial contact and the participation and evaluation of their community.
