MANA
(Tokyo - Berlin)
Mana Vol.4 at Fitzroy, Berlin - Live & Djs Set, June 25th, 2023
Mana Vol.2 at 下北沢 Spread, Tokyo - Show Exhibition & Djs Set, June 14th-17th, 2022.
Mana is a Japanese Tokyo based community, radio show and event series that seeks to create an open space for all, by linking up with both established figures and local artists around the globe
My collaboration with Mana emerged from a shared sensibility around sound and visual storytelling. Through my participation in the community, I became involved in the artwork and animation for Mana’s Vol.2 and Vol.4 events, in Tokio and Berlin.
I designed visual materials that helped to shape Mana’s identity by translating the curatorial spirit of the underground community into imagery that reflects its hybrid nature between music and art.
As part of our collaboration my work aimed to amplify the dialogue between the young Japanese sonic sphere and the European music scene, expanding the connection between both contexts. This collaboration became a space of exchange — a bridge between cultures.
