A poetic act of radical caring to mark the 10th anniversary of the 311 Fukushima Disaster.

A team of Japanese and American artists developed a virtual process to engage with young adults in the Tohoku region when it was not safe to travel. Using a trusted relational network, they recorded stories about safety, strength, and hopes for the future. From these recorded voices, the artists have created sonic haiku that is amplified through a trio of interactive, mobile sound monuments in the shape of tsunami stones. The monuments were displayed in various places in Tokyo.

On July 31 and August 7, a performance will be held in front of the museum with the works. (Cancelled in case of rain)
