Get matched →Tokyo Arts and Space (TOKAS) offers two artist-in-residence programs for international creators working in visual art, film, design, and architecture. Creators stay, engage in creation, and conduct research in Tokyo. Results are presented at the Open Studio and/or Result Presentation at TOKAS Hongo.
The call explores contemporary concerns about AI, technological singularity, IT acceleration, labor displacement, and the 'Promethean shame' of benefiting from yet fearing technological excess. Applicants are invited to rethink how we exist, connect with each other, and interact in a technology-encompassed world.
TOKAS Residency is located in Sumida-ku, Tokyo, an area with old town culture and local industries. Nearby attractions include Ryogoku Kokugikan (Sumo Hall), Sumida Hokusai Museum, Edo-Tokyo Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, and Tokyo Skytree.
Selected artists are expected to present work at the Open Studio and Result Exhibition planned for TOKAS Hongo in 2026.
