2019 Catalog - City as Nature Festival

Explore the ecological art, workshops, concerts, walks, and talks that made up the first ever City as Nature Festival in Osaka, Japan.

After producing the festival, we worked tirelessly over the following months to bring to life this limited edition catalog, highlighting festival artists, musicians, and their works.

Join us in celebrating the relationships between humans, cities, and the rest of the natural world, with this beautiful 34-page catalog featuring writings and high-quality photographs of works from the festival and related events. The book is lovingly designed in house, and printed in full color at an FSC certified sustainable press in Kyoto, Japan.

Only 250 of the catalogs will be produced, and each one is hand numbered.
