Rats in the City
Toward resilient coexistence with urban wildlife 2024 - ongoing In collaboration with: Laboratory of Veterinary Ethology at the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences “Rats in the City” takes visitors on a year-long journey of urban rat observation and exploration. Through three interactive installations paired with photographs by Hiroyoshi Hara, the project invites you to see rats from a fresh perspective—free from prejudice. Perhaps rats are not the “filthy” pests we once assumed… Grounded in science, this project envisions sustainable urban life for both humans and wildlife as a step toward building more ecologically inclusive and resilient cities.
