fantastic fields • ファンタスティック・フィールズ, 2024
A collaboration with the Immigration Museum Tokyo, Ougi Junior High School Art Club, and the City of Adachi

Fantastic fields is a four-meeting workshop about ecological touch and nature’s queer performativities that I designed and co-facilitated with Gohan, Mimi, and Asako as part of the Immigration Museum Tokyo’s Educational Program in Adachi City. Each participant received a kit with laser-cut paper objects animated by geological rock classifications. Throughout the four meetings, we transformed these objects as means of self-mapping and autofiction within those paperscapes. Each meeting included a concept (the self, the environment, the future, and connections) that related to a rock category (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and atlas), and after sharing landscaping art references we would edit the objects.
