Business Overview
This exhibition is an attempt to raise questions about the nature of human beings, starting with language and bodily sensations, with the theme of the reconstruction of senses and physicality, and with the participation of Deaf artists and listeners who use sign language as their first language. The three exhibitors are Eri Makihara, Creole Project and Natsumi Kanno. During the exhibition, performances, artist talks with curators and experts, film screenings, Work-in-Progress video screenings, workshops, and gallery tours were also held, aiming to form new connections toward research networks and collaborations in various fields. In the end, through exhibitions and various programs, we created a place where we could physically feel the collective "~" and discuss the possibilities of artistic expression with language and bodily sensations.
