who is striving to create an environment that contributes to the promotion of street art in Taiwan,

What is CCC Frontier Festival
This is a truly unique festival that has never been held before. While pursuing the possibility of performing arts, we will discover and create new attractions by implementing modern art and design in different parts of the city. It is such a cultivated festival.
Sponsored by the Shizuoka City Center for the Promotion of Culture and Creative Industry (CCC). So far, we have held a festival of creative physical expression across genres such as dance, street performance, theater, and so on, beyond the boundaries of “Professional and Amateur” and “Performance and Audience” every March. In order to create something new unique to CCC, this festival will continue to explore the direction of the festival by combining expressions and manpower of various genres. That is a move that can be said to be worthy of the title of Frontier (frontiers, fringe,cutting edge, new areas, untapped areas).

CONCEPT. Frontier
It’s more interesting at the end than in the middle.
Strange is more interesting than normal.
★The world is losing its “center”
Needless to look back on history, the 20th century was in a system in which the United States dominated the world as a “hegemony nation” (center) and surrounded areas were economically subordinated. However, with global capitalism covering the world and the Internet spreading beyond the boundaries of countries, wealth cannot continue to concentrate on certain central hegemonic countries. The world is losing its center and flattening.
From now on, it will be an era in which “border” cities around the world will grow in strength and each of them will form a flat network.
I think Shizuoka should also actively aim to create a town as a “border.”
IMPACT
Through various arts and cultures, we will discover new attractions (people, places, events, things) of Shizuoka, polish, create, mix, and communicate
“By reviewing the power of “”fringe”” and “”frontier”” and actively utilizing that power, we will re-edit the city of Shizuoka and aim to become an internationally recognized creative city.”
THEMA Love Yourself
It’s fun because everyone is different.
Be more confident in yourself.
Let’s love ourselves more.
Let’s cherish others more.
Let’s respect others more.
CONTENT
