SPECTRUM is an international collective of curators and professionals. We make initiatives and artistic projects that open discussions on diversity and gender in Japan because this is one area where we are not doing our best.
The word “Spectrum” means a broad range of values or qualities, which are all interconnected without clear borders or limits. This is how we envision the world with many coexisting cultures. We commit ourselves to celebrating a spectrum of individualities first and foremost to achieve such a world, and to supporting under-represented artists in Japan with their unique perspectives.
We envision that Japan, which is rich in culture and in tradition, can be just as extraordinary in social progress and social innovations if the people are inspired to make the changes themselves.
We harness the power of art to ignite such motivations and inspirations in people.
We are uniquely organised with involvement from Japanese as well as international institutions, platforms and individuals that can create a larger audience and expand discussions on an international level.
