2025 A4 International Residency Annual Theme: Crossing Boundaries for Sustainable Action:

Following a year of deep reflection on “How to discuss sustainability sustainably,” we recognize that discussion is only a starting point. While “sustainability” has gained consensus within global discourse, its true impact is often confined to the level of rhetoric, lacking effective action. For 2025, we shift focus to the challenge of moving toward sustainable action across disciplinary and cultural boundaries.        
This theme calls us not only to explore new paths in practice but also to deconstruct established frameworks of knowledge and thought. Interdisciplinary collaboration implies a decentralization of knowledge, enabling sustainability to emerge as a vibrant practice through the intersections of art, science, technology, and sociology. To cross boundaries is to attempt a redefinition—not only in isolated actions but as an endeavor to reshape relationships among humans, nature, economy, and ecology.
We no longer see “sustainability” as a static goal but as a process continually redefined in action: iterated through collaboration and generated anew through practice. In this way, crossing boundaries for sustainable action is not simply about achieving sustainability, but about fundamentally questioning how sustainability might be revitalized through boundary-crossing dialogue and interaction.
