アーティストトーク＆HAKOBUNE座談会

3/9開催のアーティストトーク＆HAKOBUNE座談会にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました！
最初は5、6人ほどの参加を想定していたのですが、実際には15人以上もの方にお越しいただき、驚きました…！想定より多い参加者数で、私もHAKOBUNEの皆さんも、内心びっくりしながらお話ししていました。お忙しい中、足を運んでくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました！
私の作品は、一見すると分かりにくい部分が多いため、ぜひアーティストトークの機会を設けたいと思い、HAKOBUNEさんにお願いし実現しました。今回のプロジェクトは、単なる作品発表ではなく、歴史や社会的な文脈を取り入れた場所の特性を重視し、多様な方たちと協働しながら進めるアートプロジェクトでした。そのため、しっかり言葉にして伝えないと、なかなか意図が伝わりづらいと感じていたからです。なっちゃん、素晴らしい進行をありがとうございました。

まだまだ話し足りないことばかりですが、少しでも皆さんの中に何かが残れば嬉しいです。

第二部のHAKOBUNE座談会は、もともと「HAKOBUNEメンバーは周りに助けを求めるのが苦手」という話を聞いたことがきっかけでした。そこで、「それなら、周囲の人たちに思いを共有し、自然とサポートが生まれるような場をつくったらどうだろう？」と考え、今回の座談会を提案しました。

この場では、普段なかなか話せないリアルな思いや、活動の裏側にある苦労を率直に語り合えたと思います。コトリのイッシーさん にも聞き手として参加していただき、さらに対話しやすい雰囲気が生まれたと思います。ありがとうございます！

このイベントを通じて、私たちの活動や思いが少しでも伝わり、今後のつながれば嬉しいです。

改めて、ご参加いただいた皆さま、本当にありがとうございました！

Thank you very much for participating in the Artist Talk & HAKOBUNE Roundtable held on March 9!
At first, we expected about 5 or 6 people to attend, but we were surprised to see more than 15 people actually come...! I and everyone at HAKOBUNE were surprised at the larger-than-expected number of participants. Thank you so much to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to come!
Since there are many aspects of my work that are difficult to understand at first glance, I was eager to have an opportunity for an artist talk, so I asked HAKOBUNE to make it happen. This project was not just a presentation of my work, but an art project that focused on the characteristics of the place, incorporating its historical and social context, and collaborating with a diverse group of people. Because of this, we felt that it would be difficult to convey our intentions unless we put them into words well. Thank you, Nacchan, for your excellent facilitation.

There is still so much more to talk about, but I would be happy if anything remains in your mind, even if only a little.

The second part of the HAKOBUNE roundtable discussion originally started when I heard that "HAKOBUNE members are not good at asking for help from those around them. Then I thought, “What if we create a place where people can share their thoughts and feelings with those around them and naturally generate support?” I thought, "Then why don't we create a place where people can share their thoughts and feelings with those around them and support each other naturally?

I believe that we were able to frankly discuss real thoughts and feelings that are usually difficult to talk about, as well as the hardships behind our activities. Issy-san from Kotori also participated as a listener, and I think it created an atmosphere conducive to further dialogue. Thank you very much!

We would be happy if our activities and thoughts could be conveyed through this event, even if only a little, and if it could lead to future activities.

Once again, thank you very much to everyone who participated!
