We will hold a lecture on record-generated expression, as well as a workshop on verbatim accounts. We will also visit a museum/ reference library etc. in Koto-ku for field research.

Sunday, July 31, 2022 10:00 – 17:00 (scheduled)
We try our hand at creating expression from recorded material. After looking at practical examples we will discuss and attempt creative expression. Participants will also think about their personal interests and research towards the final presentation.

*Based on two days of activity, participants will work on their own practices. During the time before the last session (August 20), participants will take on the challenge of creating expression from records using a method of their choosing.

Saturday, August 13, 2022 10:00 – 17:00 (scheduled)
This day is set aside for open consultation. Participants can consult with the facilitators as necessary. Online consultation will also be available.

Saturday, August 20, 2022 10:00 – 17:00 (scheduled)
Participants bring and present their forms of expression (a report, an exhibition or project plan, a painting, a play, a piece of writing, photography, a video/film, a sculptural/3D object etc.), and then discuss it with other participants.

*In response to the COVID-19 situation: field work, discussions etc. will be conducted so as to avoid the“Three Cs”(closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). We will review how the workshops are held and run according to the situation regarding coronavirus.
*Program contents are subject to change.
