Sunday, July 23
We will hold a lecture on record-generated expression, as well as a workshop on verbatim accounts. After looking at practices for “creating expression from records” in the second half, we will discuss and attempt to create our own expression.

Sunday, July 30
We will visit a museum/ reference library etc. in Koto-ku for field research; after listening to what the practitioners have to say, we will create a report. Participants will also think about their personal interests and research going forward.
Based on two days of activities, participants will work on their own practices. They will go talk to people they are interested in, research materials etc., and based on this take on the challenge of creating expression using a method of their choosing.

Sunday, August 20
This day is set aside for open consultation. Participants can consult with the facilitators as necessary. Also possible online.
