This is a report on the group exhibition "Seeds and Roots—Ways of Cultivating the City" held at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. Curated by Yoko Nose, Nao Fukushima, and Hana Takigami, the exhibition spans the fields of contemporary art, architecture, and fashion.
Starting from everyday activities such as eating, wearing, living, and excreting, the exhibition examines the new ecosystems forming in urban gaps and the blurring boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
