Explore the Future at LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞

The LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞ festival, set to debut on April 25, 2026, in the vibrant Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, Tokyo, is calling for artists and creators to submit their works in the art category focusing on three-dimensional installations. This innovative festival aims to combine elements of science fiction with diverse forms of expression, such as AI creative art, SNS, dance, and fashion, transforming urban spaces into a canvas for futuristic experiences.

Submit Your Works Now

The open call is an excellent opportunity for artists to have their selected works showcased across public venues, stages, and visuals in the Kabukicho area on the festival day. Participants are invited to present their visions of the future through physical forms, creating installations that symbolize the collective imagination of society regarding what lies ahead.

Background of LOOP 2126

The mission of LOOP 2126 ∞prelude∞ is captured in the concept that “the future is not something to be predicted but rather invented and shaped by our choices.” This festival encourages each participant to become an active creator of the future and to explore various perspectives through collaboration. With performances, music, visuals, and public art, the festival seeks to blur the lines between observers and creators, allowing everyone to experience an imagined future.

Art Category Details

For this inaugural call, the art category focuses on works that manifest as “shapes of the future appearing in real spaces.” We’re looking for installations to be executed in outdoor locations within the Tokyu Kabukicho area.
