2007
120th Anniversary of Japan-Thailand Diplomatic Relations 2007
- The Border and Machiawase -

Name of the Program: The Border,Machiawase
Organized by: Art Commemoration Day Executive Committee
Financial Support: 120th Anniversary of Japan-Thailand Diplomatic Relations 2007,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan 
Venue: April.2007: Kawaguchi Art Gallery ATLIA, Saitama, Japan, Oct-Dec.2007: Sukhothai,Chiang Mai,Thailand;
Content of this project: A public program was performed within the space of installation to promote communication between Japanese and Thai children.  Kawaguchi city is unique because it is home to a lot of foreign people, and one in every 30 is a foreigner, especially people of Asian origins.  But communication between foreign and local people is limited because of the negative influence of the nightlife areas.  So I planned and performed an art program inspired by the characteristics and possibilities of Kawaguchi.
