Curator and Fan Fan director Akira Aoki is currently at university studying for a social welfare qualification.
In addition to working on day-to-day matters related to his university course, Aoki will be presenting Fan Fan research exploring the connections between community welfare and art, in the form of a “study room.”
Everyone is welcome to stop by and enjoy getting their head down for some study, or sharing a leisurely exchange of opinion on welfare and art.

Using FanFan’s base Gate Studio as an example, this program involves considering and practising the delivery of information on alternative spaces and the ideal workings of a base, with a variety of visitors to Gate Studio in mind. Last time, we thought about the issue of Gate Studio’s restroom being on the second floor. People who have difficulty climbing stairs may come to Gate Studio, so we ascertained whether there were any other restrooms in the area we can direct them to, and checked routes from the station to Gate Studio, etc. Based on this research, in this session we will create a local area map and guide for posting on the FanFan website.

This is an accessible program offering both those who have tried printed with a Risograph (aka RISO) and those who haven’t the chance to print things using this digital printing system. You can choose what you want to make and apply your creativity to making either business cards, zines (a personalized booklet based on the creator’s subjects of interest), message cards, or collage posters. A member of staff will be on hand to help so there is no need to worry if you don’t know how to use the RISO machine. We can also offer advice on what to make.
