TEA+ is a shortened form of Tokyo University of the Arts / Taipei National University of the Arts Exchange Artists+ Program. The program was launched in the academic year 2024 to support opportunities to create and investigate artistic practices, and to apply new ideas generated through these activities to education and research.

Every year, one to three artists, musicians, performers, and researchers that graduated from National Taipei University of the Arts (TNUA) and Tokyo University of the Arts (Tokyo Geidai) are selected to stay for a period of one to three months. During their stay, they will produce artworks or conduct research, as well as participate in each other’s educational programs by giving talks or workshops for both on- and off-campus audiences.

For the first term of the 2024 residency program, the Taiwanese artist Liu Yu (TNUA), who focuses on anthropomorphism in myths and legends, and the Japanese artist Tsuyoshi Anzai (Tokyo Geidai), who is ambitiously engaged in research on microplastics, have been selected. The research process and activity reports will be posted on the TEA+ website as needed.
