More about the release

CREASIDENCE WORKSHOPS

In 2025, we launched a series of creative workshops across Japan, South Korea, the U.S., China, and the UK. These short-term accelerators bring together visual artists, musicians, dancers, game designers, and storytellers, helping them collaborate, experiment, and build meaningful creative outcomes in just 4 days.

東京 COMICS WORKSHOP 2025 #01

A 4-day workshop designed by the Creasidence team in collaboration with professional illustrators and comic artists, uniting 20 visual storytellers from diverse backgrounds to create a collaborative Comic Zine and exhibit it in a gallery in the heart of Harajuku, Tokyo.

Each artist brought their unique style and voice, working with Creasidence mentor Katya Chinaski on a narrative inspired by a walk through Harajuku. Every page adds something new — characters, moods, twists — forming a zine that’s playful, surreal, and deeply collaborative.

What you’re about to read was conceived, illustrated, and completed in just four days, with artists working in teams alongside people they had never met before. This constraint-driven creative challenge evolved into a love letter to Harajuku and to the art of comics itself.

ABOUT CREASIDENCE

Each industrial revolution led to the crucial change of the human function in the division of labour structure. Though we can just imagine shapes of the new technological order, new economy allows to provide the total remodeling of the industries of intellectual work and social connections.

Digital platforms, AI tools development, as well as the overall level of technological capability in creative industries will support the new trend: trend of migration of creators from corporate structures to the new forms of collaborative work and their uniting to the independent creative workforce.

We believe in building a future where creators and creative entrepreneurs are part of a global, connected network — a community rooted in collaboration, complementary skills, and a shared dedication to creative practice as a main profession.

Our mission is to design the environments and systems that allow Creasidents (our community members) to focus fully on their craft, while we manage the infrastructure that supports them:

– Creative infrastructure – co-working spaces, hardware, software, tools – Education & retraining – workshops, mentorship, and skill development – Creative process & revenue modeling – from idea to product to income – IP protection & artist safety – ensuring rights and ownership are respected

With Creasidence approach we are going to demonstrate the unity of participants of the creative industries, who works with the method and creates various formats of creative products – text, pictures, music, videos, games as well as source code, inventions, patents etc.

The next step we propose will save the functional place for humans who will actively contribute to the developing and deepening of labour division structure. But before we should dive into self-discovery and define who are those humans and how they should work. This is the key target for Creasidence right now.
