Border Crossing / Pen-tomo Project “Grandmother’s Life, Tracing the Passage of Memories”
Koganei Artfull Action! ( Arts and Culture Promotion Plan Promotion Business, Koganei-City) is conducting a Border Crossing / Pen-tomo Project with citizens by inviting artist Haji Oh. In this project, the artist and four people from overseas have been communicating with each other over their memories of “grandmother’s life.” As a work based on this memory, a notebook was born that spelled out the memories of each grandmother. This notebook, delivered from Australia, was written / drawn by people of various generations and regions who traveled around Japan and wrote / drawn “memories about grandmothers.” Along with this note, we will exhibit each cross-border for of citizens who have been working together on the pen-tomo project.
