The former Hiki Community Center used as a venue for the Art festival in 2017 has been reborn as the Museum Community Center. Drawings, sculptures, mobiles, sound installations, and video art unfold in a space encompassing light and darkness. An installation using the entire space depicts a fantasy underlying the Aenokoto ritual of Okunoto and a new residential area in the city’s suburbs, which is also related to the artist’s background.
