Touching and Being Touched In a world teeming with tactile exchanges, from the warmth of a handshake to the comfort of an embrace, “Touching and Being Touched,” ventures into the less traversed terrains of human interaction. Mengke employs her art as a means to open up conversations about haphephobia—the profound discomfort or fear of touch, pushing against societal norms that often dismiss or overlook the discomfort associated with unwanted physical contact. Her artworks serve as a bridge, offering a profound, visual dialogue on the complexities of touch, consent, and personal boundaries. Each piece, whether through abstract forms, textured surfaces, or interactive installations, challenges us to confront our own perceptions of touch and the multifaceted nature of human connections and encourages us to consider the layers of meaning imbued in touch and to recognize the strength in setting and respecting boundaries. ——Harris Kayama

The MCCT is an annual interdisciplinary conference that provides a forum for emergent critical scholarship, broadly construed hosted and supported by the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Nottingham Trent University. Join us for the Midlands Conference in Critical Thought, a gathering of brilliant minds to discuss and explore various critical topics.Get ready to engage in thought-provoking discussions, connect with like-minded individuals, and expand your knowledge in critical thought. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to be a part of this stimulating conference. JuJu Kusanagi will be co-presenting a paper with Dr. Lars Koens about their practice and research regarding a set of movement and vocalization workshops she facilitated at Centre National de la Danse (Paris, France), Nottingham Trent University (Nottingham, UK), and Tokyo University of the Arts (Tokyo, Japan).
At any time during the event at least one of the artists will be performing, so please feel free to drop by when convenient. The venue is a two-story building, with the drinking bar on the first floor and the performance space / gallery on the second floor. The performances that will take place during the event on the second floor are often interactive, so rather than sitting quietly and watching, we recommend that you join in if you feel comfortable. You can also of course spend time going back and forth to the bar on the first floor. You are free to exit and re-enter the venue during the event.
The branching room
Our choices cause the future to branch out. A person’s presence branches and multiplies through shadows, reflections, photographs and digital means. Memory is another kind of branching, allowing for the superposition of different times and events. The method of branching, then, transforms the original in various ways, creating the basis for new interpretations, relationships, and opportunities. Most of the ‘choices’ in our lives might be made unconsciously. Imagine a dog who suddenly appears, snags a piece of bread from your hand, and walks away while you are debating whether to choose ham or egg as an ingredient for your sandwich. We are surprisingly blind to what is around us, just as we are oblivious to the gaze of a hungry dog. In the Branching Room, we will attempt to once more meet the gaze of the dog and once more be deprived of bread. Nameless relationships are of greater interest than named ones. How are relationships between people built, changed, broken, and rebuilt again in the course of everyday life? In the Branching Room, performers and audience will interact with elements of sound, light, photography, and games to explore the consequences of choices and the simultaneity of past, present, and future. Artist and performance art platform Ham Tamago Sandwich member Stephan E. Perez, is about to leave Japan, where he has spent the last 8 years. In preparation for his departure, he brings together people involved in his early and recent performance work at the Kabukicho art space “Decameron”. They will be joined by the audience, including you, for reflection and discussion.

In the workshop, we will practice symbiosis among our beings through touch and vocalizations. We will treat space and time as non-linear, registering and relating with (other) bodies, and work to find our unique language. The workshop involves contact/touch and vocalization.
