Silver streaming systems 銀河系 was inspired by galaxy formation in scientific, ancient Greek, Japanese and Chinese mythologies, as well as feminist science studies, and the rivers that flow in Adachi city—Arakawa and Sumida. Each workshop lasted about 50 minutes, and I narrated the flow in English with simultaneous interpretation and co-facilitation by Yu Nishikawa and the Immigration Museum Tokyo team. In the first part of the workshop, everyone was invited to create their individual star by using a given paper cutout, and in the second part the stars were placed in the space, in a proposition to co-exist in the “silver streaming system”, the installation. The workshop was designed as part of the art education program of Immigration Museum Tokyo in Teraji (18-19 & 21 November 2022), Takenotsuka (6 December 2022) and Miyagi (19 & 21 January 2023) elementary schools in Adachi City. 

The photos were taken at Teraji, Takenotsuka, and Miyagi Elementary Schools by  Ryohei Tomita, Takeshi Yoshida, and myself.
