What is Shuhari?

An Explosive Day Full of Expression and Dialogue

SHUHARI is a borderless festival where expressions, research, and inquiries are brought together, sparking unexpected encounters and possibilities for new creations.

The concept of SHUHARI represents the journey of learning and mastery: 守 (SHU: to protect), 破 (HA: to break), 離 (RI: to transcend to create your own path).

Join us for a day where creatives, researchers, and enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds come together to share ideas, challenge conventions, and find their unique creative voice.
