Exhibition Overview

Although anthropologists have taken a huge number of photographs during their fieldwork, most of these are generally left unseen by anyone. In the "Doing Fieldwork through an Exhibition" project, we use photographs taken by a cultural anthropologist in the field as material, and each of the participants in the workshop created a "composite photograph" by arranging multiple photographs in a spatial arrangement, which was then exhibited. Why not experience the process of how anthropologists start thinking from the "mundane everyday scenes" of the field by looking closely at several composite photographs?
In the first exhibition, "Sri Lanka 2025", we will consider the field of Sri Lanka through photography, using photographs taken by Ryo Tsuchida, who conducted fieldwork in Sri Lanka on the main theme of flooding, and edited them into composite photographs by Hayato Kanzaki, Tomohito Kan, Hirohito Tsuda, Daisaku Hashizume, and Shu Fujita.
On the first day of the exhibition, Monday, February 17, we will be holding a talk event about the exhibition with the guest curator, waxogawa/Rakuki Ogawa, and Ryo Tsuchida, Hayato Kanzaki, Tomohito Kan, Hirohito Tsuda, and Daisaku Hashizume.
