2020: (EN)vision
Located in the heart of Tokyo, Waseda University is witnessing immense changes to the city not only structurally but societally as well. One can only imagine what kind of possibilities the future will hold, be it technological, educational, or design oriented. We have decided on “(En)Vision” as a means to celebrate the future possibilities, but also in a way to commemorate the increasing diversity of this city. Notorious for being one of the most mono-ethnic and monocultural countries, Japan is slowly opening its doors to the world. In considering our Japanese audience, we figured the “En” in “(En)Vision” can be replaced with a Japanese Kanji character. Because there are many characters with the same reading, it therefore becomes subjective to the audience reading or hearing about our theme, and what comes to their mind in hearing the reading, “en.” Our speakers are consequently invited to our event and bring with it their own interpretation of the theme, and have the opportunity to share this with a vast audience.
