MANGA in New York

“MANGA in New York presented by Ginza Sony Park Project” arrives in New York! This event is an exciting experiential exhibition featuring a fusion of Sony's various technologies with original MANGA specifically created for this event by six groups of Japanese artists.

Ginza Sony Park Project is an experimental space that has charmed thousands of fans with unique activities centered on Ginza in Tokyo and this exhibition is also the first event organized by Ginza Sony Park Project outside of Japan.

Visitors will be able to experience a unique and inspiring “KANDO (emotional moment)” by enjoying MANGA once they step into the venue. To be held from Friday, October 27th to Sunday, November 5th 2023 at Studio 525, NYC.

MANGA meets technology in a six uniquely designed zones. The theme of this event is one of Japan’s cultural phenomena MANGA. We created the following MANGA themes from Sony's Purpose & Values: “Pioneer,” “Dreams,” “Diversity,” “Creativity,” “Curiosity,” and “Sincerity.” Together with six groups of Japanese artists such as MANGA artists, animators, illustrators, who are livening up the world of modern art through diverse ways of expression, we created six MANGA titles with original narratives representing each of these themes. The exhibition venue will also be filled with Sony’s proprietary technologies such as the “Tensor ValveTM” odorant control technology, which enables a new MANGA experience of reading together with “scents” linked to the MANGA’s worldview as you read through MANGA in front of big screens, and “Active Slate” equipped with Haptics has been installed in the floor, which expands the MANGA’s sci-fi feel. Visitors will enjoy these various technologies to savor the unique worldview of each MANGA. Look forward to a one-of- a-kind exhibition with a blend of Sony's unique technology and MANGA at “MANGA in New York presented by Ginza Sony Park Project”.

The venue is Studio 525 (525 West 24th Street, NYC), located in the Chelsea neighborhood which is home to several art galleries. Details of the program will be announced on the official website and social media accounts in due course.
