Connecting People and Communities Through Art
Art has a unique ability to bridge divides and foster connections among people and communities. The upcoming
Paralym Art Exhibition, hosted by the
Shinjuku-based Mizui Real Estate Hotel Management Corporation, strives to achieve this kind of positive interaction. The event will run from
November 1 to November 14, 2025, at the sequence MIYASHITA PARK in
Shibuya, Tokyo. This initiative focuses on showcasing artwork created by disabled artists, aiming to spark warmth and kindness among visitors.
The exhibition aligns with the philosophy of sequence, promoting the concept of
“gentle connections.” Through various artworks themed around
“journey” and
“connection,” the exhibition not only provides a platform for disabled artists but also creates a new communal space for guests, staff, and the local community to engage and interact. Visitors will be invited to pause and appreciate the diversity of human experience through artistic expression, hoping to transform that moment of reflection into acts of kindness.
Celebrating Diversity in Art
The art displayed throughout the venue is celebratory, vibrant, and hopeful. These pieces invite viewers to step into the colorful, nuanced world of disabled artists, whose creativity and talent often remain hidden from mainstream observation. One notable artist,
Hidetomo Yagi, expresses the joy of life through his work, while
Tanya Darl focuses on themes of inclusion, highlighting the potential within everyone, regardless of ability.
By promoting art from disabled artists, the exhibition plays a critical role in advocating for their social participation and self-reliance. Organized in conjunction with the
General Incorporated Association for Promoting the Independence of Persons with Disabilities, sequence MIYASHITA PARK aims to elevate the voices of disabled creators while raising awareness and encouraging support from both corporations and the general public. Through partnerships with over
300 companies, the organization ensures that participating artists receive over
10 million yen annually, fostering a sustainable environment where talent can flourish.
