As i fell in love with Nirono mountains. draws to a close, we invite you to a finissage that opens space for dialogue and embodied experience. The evening begins with a conversation led by Takako Hamono, joined by a guest speaker (to be announced) and the audience, to explore the question:
How can creative approaches—drawing from diverse cultural and disciplinary backgrounds in both the humanities and life sciences—enrich the ongoing regeneration of the Satoyama landscape in Nirono?
Together, we will reflect on how transformations in our perception and in our practices of imagining and inhabiting landscapes can reframe our roles as humans in relation to nature, memory, and place.
The conversation will flow into a performative act, Dance Water, guided by Jija Sohn, a Japanese-Korean choreographer whose recent work delves into the theme of water as a medium of connection, fluidity, and transformation. Invited by Takako for her sensitivity to ecological and bodily processes, Jija will lead the audience in a collective movement experience that responds to the exhibition’s themes and the elemental rhythms of Nirono.
