Curators Jason Waite and Kaori Homma discuss their work in relation to Arts Catalyst’s presentation of Real Lives Half Lives, two exhibitions and a season of events reflecting on disaster, displacement and poisoned lands featuring work by Don’t Follow the Wind and Hikaru Fujii.
Jason Waite is an independent curator and one of the co-curators of the exhibition A Walk in Fukushima, as part of the curatorial collective Don’t Follow the Wind (Chim↑Pom, Kenji Kubota, Eva and Franco Mattes, Jason Waite). Waite will discuss their work with former residents of the Fukushima exclusion zone in Japan, and an international group of artists, to create an exhibition inside the restricted radioactive zone surrounding the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, that will be inaccessible for an undefined period of time.
Kaori Homma is a curator and artist. In 2013, she invited artist and filmmaker Hikaru Fujii to take part in a residency in London as part of Art Action KK, a collective of artists, curators, gallerists and writers who are exploring various means to show solidarity and support for people who have been affected by the 2011 Japanese earthquake, tsunami and subsequent Fukushima nuclear fallout. Homma will discuss her work with Art Action and give further context to Fujii’s film Project Fukushima!, which follows the preparations for a festival held in Fukushima city five months after the nuclear disaster.
Real Lives Half Lives: Fukushima is a season exploring cultural and societal responses to disaster, displacement and poisoned lands. What can art do in an ongoing catastrophe? How do citizens respond to a situation that forces tens of thousands of people out of their homes, land, and communities, many of whom probably cannot return for decades?
