Meeting to take a walk and eat snacks, 2024
round-table discussion, 2024
Taking as its starting point the fact that the Bunka district where residential/art space Awoba-soh is located was once the site of a muslin factory, this event created an opportunity to learn what sort of place it was and what life is like there today through art exhibitions, walks around the Awoba-soh area, and roundtable discussions. Exhibiting artists comprised AKO, TAI Yi Fei and Moromi MOROKAWA, and the exhibition was planned and curated by Ayana NAKATSUKA. The event also included artist Kenichi OBANA as a talk guest.
Ayana NAKATSUKA
Born in Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture in 1993 and currently lives in Tokyo. After graduating from an Art Education course in the School of Education at Hiroshima University, Nakatsuka completed a Master’s program in Art at the University of Tsukuba. From 2019 – 2020 she took part in an overseas exchange program at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She draws on her personal experiences to create and present works based on her own perception and explorations. Recently, she has been contemplating how best to live and create as she considers what gets selected and what does not in society and in the art system.
