建築・教育・文化施設・コミュニティなど、それぞれのローカルで新たな風景を生み出している実践者たちの活動を紐解きながら、前橋のまちづくりの未来について考える前橋国際芸術祭2026ダイアローグ・セッション。 最終セッションでは、これまでの6回の対話を振り返りながら、芸術祭全体を構想・牽引する田中仁と宮本武典が来場者の皆さんと「めぶく。」に続くまちづくりビジョンについて考える場をひらきます。ビエンナーレ形式で続いていく前橋国際芸術祭は今後、前橋市中心市街地にどのような変容をもたらしていくのでしょうか。2年後に開催される第二回、そして「次の10年」に向けた新たな道筋を探る本芸術祭のクロージングトークとなります。
This dialogue session of Maebashi Biennale 2026 considers the future of urban development in Maebashi by tracing the work of practitioners who are creating new landscapes in their respective contexts, spanning architecture, education, cultural institutions, and community initiatives.
In this final session, Jin Tanaka and Takenori Miyamoto, who guided the festival and gave it its overall vision, will reflect on the six previous dialogues and initiate a discussion with attendees on possible efforts at city-making to come after Mebuku. As the festival continues in a biennial format, how might it transform Maebashi’s central district in the years ahead? In this closing talk, we explore possible new trajectories leading to the second edition in two years, and future editions over the next ten years.
