Profile
Based in Hokkaido, Shindo has presented many works that explore the history and culture of the region. The artist has been interested in cultural connections between neighboring areas as well as observing the world from a broader perspective through the lens of modern Hokkaido. Research on related resources and fieldwork has led the artist to create her recent site-specific work, extending her interest in documentation and memory.
During this residency, Shindo aims to develop work based on research about people who migrated from Fukuoka to Hokkaido in the modern period.
