Humor contains imagination and creativity. It holds freedom and a critical eye. It possesses space and participation. Is humor possible in a city?

"GAKU," a creative school for teenagers, is practicing "living creation in the city" by displaying visual expressions such as video and graphic art in urban spaces through a project named "Humor to the City."

This exhibition displays works from the classes "Extension of Graphic Design" and "City Video Group," instructed by Aiko Koike (Graphic Designer/Art Director) and Reiji Saito (Filmmaker). A talk session will be held on the final day, June 21 (Sun), to reflect on these practices and explore the future of urban culture and creativity.
