Business Overview

Kageyama Meteorological Observatory, Momo Sakamoto, and Yuko Tsujimura are three members of this new project that combines thinking, practice, and creation to find an optimal archive from different perspectives. While reaching into the field of archiving, the group aims to create a place where people can share their worries and appreciate their hard work through events. A briefing session was held consisting of a reading event, a workshop on archiving, a presentation in the form of a small work, an exhibition of the results, and a roundtable discussion on archiving.
