Announcement of Co-Director System at PARADISE AIR

As of May this year, PARADISE AIR will adopt a Co-Director system! Since its establishment in 2013, Junpei Mori, one of the founding members, has served as the Director of PARADISE AIR. We are pleased to announce that Koji Kato has now been appointed as the new Director. Kato joined PARADISE AIR as a coordinator in May 2019 and is an artist by profession. Going forward, Junpei Mori and Koji Kato will jointly serve as Co-Directors, developing the Artist-in-Residence program at PARADISE AIR.

In conjunction with this change, both Mori and Kato have also become Co-Representatives of PAIR (一般社団法人PAIR), the organization that operates PARADISE AIR. We kindly ask all stakeholders to take note of this development.

 

Currently, PARADISE AIR has a team of eight coordinators. In addition to their roles as directors and other positions, these coordinators guide PARADISE AIR with their diverse expertise.
