Comments from Makaira's CEO
Koichiro Fujii, the CEO of Makaira, expresses that their company, rooted in public policy consulting in the technology sector, has always championed the intertwined nature of technology, culture, and social sensitivity. In a world where human experiences, emotions, and stories contribute to our societal fabric, it is essential to approach complex issues with creativity and depth. Being able to see the unseen, hear the unheard, and articulate the inexpressible is a necessity for navigating the ambivalence of our times. The MAD art project represents the first step in this journey, encouraging individuals to engage with themselves and their communities through art.
