Dohjidai Gallery is a large gallery that is not only dedicated to art fans but also to a wide range of people who enjoy contemporary art. Located on the corner of Sanjo-dori / Gokomachi-dori, which can be considered to be the center of Kyoto’s culture and art scene, the “1928 Building” that houses the gallery is also a historic building designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Kyoto City. In the basement, INDÉPENDANTs operates as a separate entity. Artists renovated a space that was almost like an abandoned place and recreated it as a modern community space with an underground atmosphere. In addition to provide food and drinks, it also hosts various art events. Using contemporary as a keyword, in an unfinished space called “gallery”, we ask about the state and way of life of society with the artists who are living in the same time. Dohjidai Gallery wants to be a source of creativity that opens up a new era.
