AboutAbout the lab
Looking at vanishing histories through art.
Assistant Professor Naho Yokoya, who works in contemporary art, creates artworks on the theme of histories and stories hidden in particular places.
Through repeated research in places in Japan and abroad, the professor investigates using formats regardless of medium, such as interviews and video recordings, and presents the results as artworks.
The lab also takes on collaborative production with researchers from other fields, such as history, biology, and cultural anthropology, as well as community projects.
In education, students learn the creative thinking and the artwork production process physically, through production assignments, exercises, fieldwork, and similar activities.
