What is “experimental”? Vol. 4 Cultivators of Urban Recesses

Guest☞ Isamu Nishimura, Takashi Azumai and others (Nakagyo / Hana to Midori no Kai)
Host ☞ Kyoto Experiment Co-directors

The fourth installment of our talk series that addresses the question “What is experimental?” from various angles is on urban agriculture, a phenomenon recently gaining traction in metropolises like New York, Paris, and San Francisco. Its aim is to combat issues such as climate change and poverty, as well as promote greenification and sense of community, in order to make cities sustainable. In fact, for the past 14 years, there have been gardening and beekeeping efforts going on in Kyoto too, on the rooftop of the Nakagyo Ward Office! We’ll be live streaming from the rooftop garden, where we’ll be speaking with the volunteers involved.
