CCBT is launching a new Meetup series, Open Base Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring CCBT\u2019s 2026 theme of civic fashion, Open Base Saturdays is a series of talks with different guests held on the first Saturday of each month. Audiences are welcome to bring coffee, sandwiches, and snacks when they join these informal events.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Meetup series features different guests each time sharing their views on the annual CCBT theme.

The 2026 theme is civic fashion, a newly coined term. CCBT\u2019s aim is not to question clothing (fashion) itself through its activities this year. Instead, this series explores the as-yet undefined theme without limiting the scope to a specific area of expertise or field. In this way, it is an opportunity for audiences to gain new perspectives on their own questions.

After the talk, After-Hours Base offers time for further reflecting on the questions raised in the discussion. Feel free to stay longer and enjoy an informal conversation with guests, fellow attendees, artists, members of the CCBT team, and other people you wouldn\u2019t normally meet. CCBT\u2019s Tech Lab and reference materials will also available during this time.

The guests for this edition of Open Base Saturdays are Ashida Hiroshi and Ishikawa Yukako, who serve as mentors for the 2026 Art Incubation program. Ashida is a researcher specializing in fashion studies who has developed a vocabulary for fashion criticism. With the motto of utilizing the city in hands-on ways, Ishikawa has built up an extensive practice related to cities and communities.

Please join us as we kick off our exploration of civic fashion through Ashida and Ishikawa\u2019s conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
