Cross talk Vol.1-5 【Online streaming】
Event Overview
Little by little, exchanges between the three artists taking part in the Letter / Art / Project "TODOKU" that launched in 2020 and the correspondents involved in the project are starting to happen. We will delve into the thoughts of the individual artists to find out what kinds of feelings those exchanges are generating in them and how they will link them to the exhibition planned for 2022. With a guest appearance by a researcher into visual and body languages and specialist in assistance for shut-ins, we will ask about the correspondents’ social backgrounds and how the artists will interact with them through the project.
