The Department of Dance and East Asian Studies Center Present:
Space Making Workshop
Yukina Sato
The Ohio State University
Abstract: The "Space Making" workshop unpacks the question of cultural identity within artmaking. Third year MFA student Yukina Sato (Tokyo, Japan) will welcome two guest artists, Ayako Kato (Chicago, IL) and Nami Yamamoto (NY, NY), who immigrated from Japan and continued their art-making careers in the United States. Through dialogue, they will unpack the layers of hardship, joy, and achievement on their artistic journeys. Participants will also listen to their stories of self-discovery as independent artists, and of their relationship with their cultural roots and representation. Participants have a chance to move together by choice.
