We are holding an exhibit of works created for science visualization exercises. These classes have been taken by art students as well as students studying science. By making use of their individual strengths, the students were able to effectively convey complicated scientific terminology through illustrations. We hope you will all come to check it out.

Report on the special screening event, “After 3.11 – Sounds & Voices”
We have had a great deal of positive feedback from people who attended, saying that the films and talk shows were wonderful and they were glad they participated. The event was featured in several newspapers, and attended by people from many different regions. It was unfortunate that there were not many students from the University of Tsukuba, despite a strong attendance from students from universities in Tokyo. Perhaps the earthquake has begun to fade away from the memories of some students. It was a reminder for us of the importance of the documentary film production project “FUKUSHIMA VOICE.” (Kataoka)
