[Guests]

Hiroshi Fuji
Born in Kagoshima Prefecture in 1960. Resides in Fukuoka Prefecture and Akita Prefecture.
Artist; vice-president and professor, Akita University of Art
Because his parents were born in Amami Oshima, Fuji grew up playing around the famous Oshima Tsumugi textiles. Having immersed himself in theater while a student at Kyoto City University of Arts, he aspired to do creative work based in regional communities, and explored project-style expression on site in various locations. After completing a graduate course at the same university, he taught at the National Arts School in Papua New Guinea, where he encountered primitive expression and sociology. In the period following the end of Japan’s economic bubble, Fuji worked in a redevelopment agency and an urban planning office where he learned about regional areas and large cities. He has carried out “dialogue and regional experimentation” through demonstration-style artistic expression making use of “community resources/appropriate technology/cooperative relationships.”

Major projects related to disabilities include the exhibition “bones” (2009, 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT), “Prosthetic Fashion Show” and “‘subliminal wave of light’ otto & orabu x Masakatsu Takagi LIVE at Miraikan” (both 2014, Miraikan), editing the book documenting the exhibition “Disability (TBD)” (2016, Tomonotsu Museum), “Japan Foundation – Disability x Performing Arts Series ‘dialogue without vision’” (2016, KAAT – Kanagawa Arts Theatre), the exhibition “The Great Ordinary” (2017, Borderless Art Museum NO-MA), and “Creative Audio Description” (2017, KAAT – Kanagawa Arts Theatre).
