By CR in Lessons, Vision Formulation 0 Comment

For the 2nd session of A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation we were honored to welcome Pr. Takenori Miyamoto (Tohoku University of Art and Design as Museum). He delivered a lecture entitled “Joint Actions of University Faculty and Students in the Aftermath of Catastrophe.” He quoted the saying ‘Dig under your feet and you will find a source’ to express the sentiment that the hardships faced by disaster victims are also one’s own. Miyamoto’s words fostered a constructive discussion concerning the future leadership goals of the CR Project.

At last, A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation has begun!

During this weekly series we will invite guests to speak about post-disaster reconstruction.

For the first session we were honored to welcome Norio Nakamura and Shigeo Nishiuchi, residents who had to evacuate Futaba and now live in Tsukuba. Mr. Nakamura described his experience of nearly drowning in the wave of the tsunami and Mr. Nishiuchi outlined the chronology of the nuclear accident at Fukushima through related newspaper articles and other media. The students listened intently to their heartfelt and unique testimonies.

Report on the Art Project in collaboration with the Ishigenishi Junior High School
We are pursuing our art project in conjunction with the Ishigenishi Junior High School. The school itself was bulldozed following the disaster and now operates out of a prefab building. As one aspect of this project, we headed to the Ishigenishi School during the summer holidays in order to organize a workshop on plastic arts. The report is as follows:
Thursday July 26th, 2012
8:30 – 16:30
Location: Joso Municipal Ishigenishi Junior High School, Prefab school, Art classroom
Participants: 26 students of the Ishigenishi School, Art department / 1 art teacher
10 students of the University of Tsukuba, Art department / 2 professors

Project Details:
(1) Creation of artworks by encapsulating in resin small objects found in the old school building
(2) Fabrication of wall-mounted magnets reusing hooks from the hallway of the old school building
We think the pupils were happy. The workshop went smoothly because we planned out the process and prepared the materials and tools ahead of time. We benefited from the help of the students of University of Tsukuba starting from the preparation stage, but on the day of the workshop, they got along very well with the pupils and really did a good job. The creations will be exhibited for the University of Tsukuba School Festival (October 6th to 8th) and for the Ishigenishi School festival (October 27th). (Sasamoto)
