Uemura Makoto

Born 1990 in Aichi, Japan. Based in Tokyo, Japan.
Uemura Makoto collaborates with artists both in Japan and abroad to create theatrical performances and installation-based works that invite active engagement from audiences. Among these, his performance pieces in the form of tours are particularly notable. Carefully constructed through extensive research, these works lead participants through urban spaces, prompting them to trace the hidden memories embedded in the landscape and to find new meaning in their surroundings through personal interpretation. For this project, Uemura turns his attention to the Fukagawa-Kiba area, where the museum is located, delving into the layered memories of the land through performance.
