In August 2018, it was discovered that the scores of female applicants were uniformly deducted from the general entrance examinations of university medical faculties to reduce the number of successful applicants.
Against the backdrop of this issue of discrimination against women in Japan, the artist Sputniko! × and Tomomi Nishizawa established a fictional university called Tokyo Medical University for Rejected Women (“Tokyo Medical University for Rejected Women”).
Sputniko! x Tomomi Nishizawa established a fictional university called Tokyo Medical University for Rejected Women (“Tokyo Medical University for Rejected Women”), which attracts female talent from Japan’s medical community! who raises sharp questions about Japan’s medical society, and Tomomi Nishizawa, who designs and designs the organisation and structure of the board of directors.
Tomomi Nishizawa is responsible for the concept, production and design of this work.
At the university, a number of female students will operate the medical surgery support robot Frida simultaneously to create an “elite male doctor”, which the Japanese medical community is persistently seeking. These elite male doctors will then be shipped by drone to hospitals around the world and sent to work. The ironic and satirical film “Tokyo Medical University for Rejected Women” shows how women continue to modify and ship male doctors in order to demonstrate their abilities and contribute to society, even if they are excluded from the Japanese medical community. Rejected Women” is an ironic and satirical film about how women continue to modify and ship out male doctors in order to contribute to society and their own abilities.
