"mojimoji pictures" is a unique project that uses participant ideas to create new shapes based on characters, expressing the names of different countries and area. The pictures, which have been drawn by children and people from all over the world, are installated on the floor. A new dialogue will begin. About one thousand works made in art workshops in different countries and districts were also exhibit.
