Tokyo Wonder Site and GOETHE-INSTITUT JAPAN have continued a series of projects "On the Agenda of the Arts" since 2007. This project considers "possibilities of Arts" in today's multi-cultural societies with international curators and participating artists. This year, we organize the third exhibition, titled "NEW COMMMONS", which explores how new commons function in globalised and diversed societies and communities.
