“Opening up new routes” is a series in which we consider the form art projects should take in response to the coming era as we look back on art projects developed since 2011and the social climate surrounding them. The series navigator is Takashi Serizawa (Director, P3 art and environment), who has closely observed art projects that occur in response to social conditions with a focus on the interaction between people and the environment. We record the perspectives and activities of various art project practitioners, reflecting on how society has developed in the last ten years, and how art projects have responded. In addition, the aim is to find new routes ahead to a new era by thinking about the future form of art projects together with people capable of becoming practitioners of art projects going forward.

Lecture series on deaf and hearing people’s forms of communication

Art projects connect neighborhoods, people, and activities within the fabric of daily life and work. People communicate with each other in a variety of ways on-site at art projects, where those with different backgrounds gather, talk and work together. We believe encounters with these diverse forms of communication enrich project sites and time spent there.
In these lectures, not only will we learn signing as a language, but we will also touch upon differences in deaf and hearing people’s forms of communication, as well as “deaf culture,” in order to foster communication skills that can be put to use in the field, and to develop perspectives on accessibility.
For 2023, we will be offering a course for beginners to learn the basics of communication in sign language and discover deaf culture.
