Miyuki Tanaka

Curator / Producer

After working at art institutions, she started working on projects that defy categorization under the theme of “disability/barrier is a perspective that redefines the world.” Through projects dealing with expressions that have yet to be valued, she realizes the ways we view and perceive expressions together with diverse audiences. Recent projects include Dance Work in Progress with Creative Audio Descriptions (KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theatre, 2017-2019), the film NIGHT CRUISING (2019), and Audio Game Center (2017-present). She has been a Part-time lecturer at the Tokyo Institute of Technology since 2018. In 2020, she was appointed as a creator for the Basic Concepts for the Japan Pavilion at World Expo 2025. She will be an exhibition director of the exhibition Rules? at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT.
