[Off campus Workshop/学外ワークショップ]

Why not join us in a playful dialogue with wild plants around us and see what words bloom from our connection with the land? Wild plants roam freely, crossing invisible borders like national and prefectural lines. Sometimes they’re shunned by humans, sometimes they heal us, but they always share a deep bond with us, transcending time and place. In this workshop, we’ll forage for wild plants, savour their aromas and flavours, and let them inspire us to craft the poetry that bridge the gap between us and the land.

We’ll kick off with Nagisa Mizuno, who will share her reflections on the boundary between her body and the land. Drawing from her year-long adventure gathering wild plants in Finland in 2023, she’ll tell the story of ‘Momo-iro no Tea (Peach-Coloured Tea),’ a short tale inspired by her experiences. Then, we’ll take a stroll through the neighborhood to gather intriguing wild plants. Back at our gathering spot, we’ll brew wild plant tea, watch its colour change, inhale its scent, and put our feelings into words. The words we create from these wildflowers will blossom into poems full of unique emotions and perspectives.

Sharing and connecting with each other is a key part of the fun. Let’s enjoy this journey of tasting wild plants and playing with words together!

身近な野草との対話を通じて、自分と土地との関係性から生まれる言葉を奏作（創作）してみませんか？野草は、国境や県境などの見えない境界線を超えて自由に旅しています。時には人間から忌み嫌われたり、逆に癒しをもたらしたり、時代や場所を超えてわたしたちと深い関係を持っています。このワークショップでは、野草のフォレッジ（forage: 採取する）からその香りや味わいを楽しむ時間までをご一緒し、野草を通して、わたしと土地のあいだに見つけた詩（ことば）を拾い上げ、奏でていけたらと思います。

まずはじめに、主催者の水野渚が2023年の1年間過ごしたフィンランドでの野草採取の経験と、そこから生まれた『もも色のお茶』という野草茶をめぐる短編を題材に、わたしの身体と土地の境界線について考えます。その後、ご近所を散策し、自分の気になる野草を採取していきます。戻ってきたら、野草茶にして香りを嗅いだり、色の変化を観察したりしながら、感じたことを言葉にしていきます。採取した野草から生まれた言葉は、それぞれの感性や想いが込められた詩になります。

参加者同士でのシェアリングや交流も大切な要素です。みんなで道草を喰う旅を楽しみ、言葉を奏作しましょう。

[Off Campus Exhibition / 学外展示会・展覧会]

You’re invited to the MFA exhibition by 20 artists from the programmes Medium- and Material Based art and Art and Public Space at Oslo National Academy for the Arts.

“If a degree show was a material, what would its qualities be? Porous or hard, opaque or transparent, steely or malleable? Could you hold it in your hands, or would you have to ask for help to lift it up?
In this exhibition of artists working with medium and material-based arts and art in public space, we are met with both novel ideas and some impressively vast time scales and topics. Materials and techniques that appear either old or new, are seldom one or the other, and often both.
The exhibition title ‘The World Is A Knot In Motion’ is a quote from the author Donna Haraway, who is known for using science-fiction to fabulate on future material realities and living conditions on the planet to highlight new and current perspectives on our coexistence with the species around us, whether they’re species of rocks, animals, trees, or plants. The phrase, as we are applying it, encourages a break with deterministic definitions of “nature” and “culture”, and the distinction between these. It is also a sentence whose progression seems to align with our understanding of the given format — the world is ingested, the work knots, and the exhibition format signifies a forward motion.”
We look forward to welcoming you into 20 unique artistic worlds!

The exhibition is curated by Håkon Lillegraven.
