Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, it is thought that it is an urgent issue to realize the value of the artistic work by disabled people, and it is important to become clear what kind of the support is effective.
I carried out domestic and foreign investigations to explore the process that realized the value of the artistic work and got hints for relations construction with cooperation of various fields. Furthermore, I held 'inclusive cafe' and a symposium to substantiate it and repeated the discussion with a variety of people.
As much as methods to publication the artistic work to the society are various, the choice of the disabled people spreads and leads to construction of the affirmative identity. It is thought that such a thing is one route of the social inclusion through the artistic expression activity.
