“Are Marginalized Populations Segregated in the Wake of Disaster? Case study of Japan”
Abstract
Community struggles often lean towards use of conventional tactical strategies to make political demand. What happens when activists artists, academics, and NPOs situate their practice in a living community with intention to intervene or facilitate an issue that is of concern to all?

This presentation looks at specific case studies in Kyoto and Tokyo of creative interventions into community that lie between social work, politics and management; interventions and collaborations that a leap out of the culture of specialisation and cross disciplinary boundaries.
