In conjunction with CREATIVE ECHO MARKET vol.2, we are opening a call for creators in their teens and twenties.
CREATIVE ECHO MARKET is an experimental gathering space for next-generation creativity, co-created by youth empowerment media platform Steenz and WPÜ SHINJUKU. It is a place that brings to the surface unseen passions and unique forms of expression—Ü (= you). The stage is WPÜ SHINJUKU, located in Shinjuku—a place where movement and stay intersect. Here, expressions across disciplines—fashion, art, music, and physical performance—coexist on equal ground, each creating its own rhythm within the space. We do not require experience or perfection. What matters most is that your expression comes from a genuine desire—something you truly want to create and share, not for trends or consumption, but for yourself.
“I have ideas and work, but no place to present them.”
“I haven’t had the time or financial freedom to take on new challenges.”
“This would be my first time exhibiting, and I don’t know where to start.”
“I want to meet and be inspired by creators of my generation.”
We’ve heard these voices time and time again.
We hope this space can become the first step—where your expression begins to move.
Steenz is a media platform and community where teenagers navigating the era of diversity can discover both themselves and their people.
Rather than living as followers of someone else’s path, Steenz values the desire to stand on one’s own individuality — to compete, express, and move forward through authenticity. It closely explores the real lives and inner worlds of innovative teenagers who hold strong social awareness and a deep interest in creativity.
At the same time, Steenz functions as a space where these teens can connect with one another, form meaningful relationships, and amplify their voices to engage more actively with the world.
It is both a media platform and a community that supports young people in shaping their own perspectives — and sharing them, together.
