After the series launched in London in November 2021, Prada brings Prada Extends to Tokyo on July 21st 2022. This edition comprises a duo of events curated by British-born, Canadian-raised electronic musician and Prada collaborator Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman: a conversation and a celebration. The talk, staged at the Prada Miyashita Park store in the Shibuya district, is followed by a party at Terrada, a center for art and music, including one of the largest gallery complexes in Japan.
The first event, staged in Prada Miyashita Park store in the Shibuya district of Tokyo consists of a talk on music and current topics between Richie Hawtin and Naohiro Ukawa, a multi-hyphenate talent behind behind the Tokyo-based digital live-streaming studio Dommune, a brand which exists at the intersection of live digital technology and Tokyo’s nightlife scene.
Prada Extends Tokyo is a celebration of Japanese culture, of music, of creative communities that connect figures around the world. The line-up of the event includes Richie Hawtin’s performance as well as a live show from South Korean producer, beat maker and artist Lionclad; Tokyo-based artist machìna; and the Japanese electronic musician and producer Yuri Urano.
Each talent is paired with a Japanese-based visual artist: bringing Richie Hawtin with Kaoru Tanaka/Performed by Manami Sakamoto; Lionclad with Ken-ichi Kawamura; machìna with Shohei Fujimoto; and Yuri Urano with Manami Sakamoto.
