Blurring Boundaries � the role of the artist in social history, responsibility and ethical choices Other events...
A public lecture by Mayu Kanamori, 2015 IAS Artist-in-Residence.

Mayu Kanamori's most recent work 'Yasukichi Murakami: Through a Distant Lens' is a theatre work about the life of historical photographer Yasukichi Murakami and the modern day search of his missing photographs.

Whilst discussing the process of creating and writing Yasukichi Murakami: Through a Distant Lens, Mayu Kanamori will introduce her lesser known, yet related work including the Civilian Internment Arts Program in Cowra NSW, where Murakami is buried and her on-going collaborations with the Japanese Indigenous community of Broome who remember Murakami through their oral histories and family photographs.

Her lecture will challenge prescribed boundaries of the role of the artist in addressing social history, examine social responsibilities in making ethical choices pertaining to identity, diaspora, and imagined national and ethnic borders. She will then explore ways of working with culturally specific stories to make a contribution to the wider community.

Cost: Free, but RSVP required via the webpage.
