This is official!
With the support of l’Association de Jumelage Rennes-Sendai (http://www.rennes-sendai.fr/) and Fondation Franco-Japonaise Sasakawa (http://ffjs.org), The Dorayaki Project turns into MINGEYE – dans l’œil de l’artisan, an exhibition + conference to share a little bit of my research adventure in Japan.
Between March and May 2018, I took part in the artist-in-residence program at MORIUMIUS with The Dorayaki Project. It is an action-based research that questions the role of craftspeople in Japanese society.
Next month, in Rennes (France), I will present an exhibition of pictures and also do a talk to share my findings, as far as Japanese craftsmanship is concerned.
This is another opportunity for me to thank MORIUMIUS team for their kindness and support when I was there, as well as all stakeholders who helped me in this project.
Cheers to all! And see you soon!
Exhibition from October 22nd to November 02nd, 2019, at Maison Internationale de Rennes
Last Wednesday in Naruko, I met with Sakurai Kokeshi’s team. Roger, who was part of the team, recommended that I meet one of his friends, Dennis “you should really meet him somehow”). So here I am! On Thursday, on my way back to Ogatsu, I met Dennis in Ishinomaki. We could share opinions about local communities, social innovation and craftsmanship. He is really involved in letting students (local and international ones) get together, share ideas and turn words into action about revitalizing communities in specific local areas.
