The current problems in Shibuya, such as littering, drinking on the street, smoking on the street, and graffiti, are not rules, but rather morals. Shibuya, a city mainly made up of young people, must convey the power to think, choose, and act for oneself, rather than just following the rules. Furthermore, the world is full of much more serious problems that require global solidarity to solve. Shibuya is full of people who take action with such thoughts, and the mouse is a metaphor for these little heroes. Art that colors society from Shibuya. https://www.kouhey24.com/ “16th Shibuya Art Festival 2024 ~SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE~” event overview Event name: 16th Shibuya Art Festival 2024 ~SHIBUYA ART SCRAMBLE~ Date: November 4th (Monday) to November 10th (Sunday), 2024: 7 days *SOCIAL INN OVATION WEEK 2024 collaboration program Venue: Shibuya Miyashita Park, other areas around Shibuya Station H P: http://shibuyaartscramble.tokyo/ Organized by: Shibuya Art Festival Executive Committee Co-organized by: Shibuya City, Shibuya City Tourism Association, Shibuya Mirai Design General Incorporated Association Sponsored by: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Sponsored by: Tokyu Corporation, Tokyu Land Corporation, Tokyu Construction Co., Ltd., Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., Tomorrow’s Myth Preservation and Succession Organization The “Shibuya Art Festival” started when it was decided that Taro Okamoto’s work “The Myth of Tomorrow” would be permanently installed at Shibuya Station.
