Talk Series #4 English Summary

Ask Wataru Asada about the life, expression and sharing

Mr. Wataru Asada is an advocate of an “open living room'' that partially opens private space in a home to outside people. He develops art projects in various places; these projects evoke memories of people and towns through music and other expressive means. Mr. Asada finds expression in the way we live and he approaches the life of people with various backgrounds in an expressive way. We asked him how we can create the spaces that can connect people and support their sharing of their lives. We also asked about the role of artistic expressions in those spaces.
