Wide Awakes, is a global art movement launched by José Parla in New York. In 2021, in response to the 10th anniversary of 3/11 Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in Japan, artist collectives have been derived from citizen's radioactivity measurement and 'The 10th FUKUSHIMA, Nippon AWAKES' (hereinafter referred to as "The 10th") was formed.
The representation of The 10th is always reduced to the solution of social issues that can be seen in daily life.
Every culture is always shaped by a small number of people who are aware, and at times have unreasonable convictions. While twisting and burping such human beings, we have found new and universal values in our daily life and continuity.
Visualize and share social issues that are often overlooked, and steadily move forward while organically connecting. Primarily, the creativity function that everyone has is within reach.


* This physical and NFT exhibition is a new "Social Art" attempt to create unprecedented movements of money by artists in parallel with or without physical disabilities.

* A part of the sales will be donated to the Fukushima 30-year Project, which has been measuring radioactivity in Fukushima City since 2011. The breakdown will be published on the AWAKES / Minna no Awakening website.
