Thank you for your patronage of precog last year.

Our best wishes for your health and happiness in 2026!

Happy New Year.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us, worked with us, and accompanied us along the way.

This year, precog celebrates its 20th anniversary.

That we—a project-based organization constantly evolving in form—have been able to endure and continue our work over two decades is owed not so much to the strength of systems or institutions, but to a continuous accumulation of encounters and collaborations.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey. Thank you sincerely for your generous support over the years.

At the beginning, our activities focused on creating environments that support artistic practice—working with artists and companies such as chelfitsch and nibroll—and on building experimental, cross-disciplinary platforms like Azumabashi Dance Crossing. From there, our work expanded to include art projects and festival programs rooted in close engagement with local histories, climates, and memories in places such as Yokohama, Nasu, Beppu, and Kunisaki. Over time, this trajectory further extended into international exchange initiatives spanning more than 90 cities worldwide.

In recent years, through projects such as our streaming and media platform THEATRE for ALL, we have spent increasing time engaging with questions of accessibility and information access: Who is able to encounter art, and how? and How can artistic practice be applied to local and social challenges? These inquiries have led us to re-examine the points where artistic practice intersects with concrete social issues, including disability and welfare, community development, gender equality, and multicultural coexistence.

We have also been fortunate to open up and share the knowledge and networks that precog has accumulated, both within and beyond the arts sector. This has led to educational and development initiatives such as IN TRANSIT, which supports the international development of artists, and STAGE for ALL, a continuing program that explores disability, creative practice, and the conditions of making and experiencing art.

Throughout these activities, we have consistently placed artistic creation at the center of our work, while striving to maximize its potential by identifying multiple points of connection between art and society—locally and globally, and across diverse social contexts.

Over the course of these twenty years, we have also faced the challenges inherent in sustaining a small organization like precog: improving working conditions while responding to changes in the emotional lives and life stages of each member. At the same time, we feel a deep sense of assurance in the team we have become—a place where individuals bring their cultivated expertise together and continue to collaborate as trusted partners. Now that each member has their own field in which to exercise their individuality and specialization, we believe that the next twenty years will make these practices and trajectories even more visible. We hope you will continue to follow and support us.

On a personal note, over the coming decades, I hope to further interweave the cross-disciplinary knowledge we have developed—spanning artistic creation, regional practice, international exchange, and accessibility—into activities that unfold over three, five, or ten years. Through sustained engagement, I aim to contribute to practices that allow new forms of creativity to emerge between artists and communities, and that enable artistic practice to take root deeply in the places where it is enacted.

Without rushing to answers, and without fearing detours, we hope to continue building practices that arise from carefully created spaces where people can truly encounter one another. We would be grateful to continue this journey together with you in the year ahead.

Warm regards,
and best wishes for the year to come.
