Liberte

The landscapes viewed while walking through the city, the lines and shapes drawn with a pen picked up on a whim, and even the outfit chosen for the day—all of these are expressions of individuality, self-determination, and freedom. At Liberte, we work alongside people with disabilities to foster a society, communities, and relationships that respect such “everyday freedoms” and “rights.” Based in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture, we have been active since 2013. Through the cultural initiative Roji no Hiraki, which blurs the boundaries between the local community and welfare facilities, we collaborate with artists to create performances, parades, and exhibitions inspired by the perspectives of members with disabilities and the daily routines of welfare facilities.
