A special event titled “Gomi Festival” will be held at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan venue, centered on the theme of “waste.” This event will showcase initiatives that discover new value in “gomi (trash),” through activities such as transforming waste into art, interactive workshops (e.g., PC dismantling, making musical instruments from waste), and more. An online session and talk with NAGASAKA Mago, a renowned trash artist active in Ghana, is also planned. In the finale, a live performance will take place featuring the multicultural KURAGE Band led by NAKAJIMA Sachiko, in collaboration with high school students playing instruments made from waste. The event aims to create a space where everyone can feel the message that “everything has value.”
