CCBT is partnering with Ars Electronica, a cultural organization based in the Austrian city of Linz. Based on the idea of participatory art, Citizen Manifesto turns your ideas generated through dialogue into posters to serve as manifestos for transforming the city. In conjunction with the 2025 CCBT theme of the Future Commons and the Ars Electronica project Citizen Manifesto, posters are displayed at the entrance to WITH HARAJUKU, a shopping complex located halfway between Harajuku Station and CCBT, on the weekend that CCBT opens in the neighborhood. Become an active participant in the city and envision the future of Harajuku together with others. Citizen Manifesto for Harajuku Our city is full of places and things, but which of them are truly shared with everyone? The places and things we can share with everyone are called commons. Examples of the commons include places like parks, streets, and public buildings, the physical objects that we put in them, as well as digital platforms, cultures, traditions, and social systems. To create a richer, more creative Harajuku, your voice matters: What are your ideas for shared spaces, things, or systems everyone can use in a city? Which ones would be good to have to make Harajuku more creative and enriching? Discuss together with others and record your shared dialogue. An AI will help summarize your ideas and transform them into a poster.Be part of a collective manifesto and share your ideas for enriching Harajuku’s streets together with others.Citizen Manifesto for Harajuku
