［Residence Program］ Sep 7, 2017〜Dec 5, 2017

Activities during the residency

1. Art Making
Krupa Makhija turns used materials with memories of disappearing culture and history into beautiful installation work. In Fukuoka, she creates an installation work, in which the visual documentation of the Fukuoka Castle ruin is printed onto the stone piece from the site. The stone is then embedded into a book to form a history book of the lost. Makhija also created works using traditional kintsugi technique by asking people to bring a broken object with their memory and interviewing them about their memory of the object.
