The Joso team has planned an exhibition to showcase the results of their art project in collaboration with the students and faculty of Ishigenishi Junior High School, whose school building was levelled following the disaster. Here is the report:
Dates: Saturday October 6th, 2012 to Monday October 8th (holiday)
Location: Tsukuba University festival “Soho Festival” / room 204 of the 6A building in the Art area

The team introduced the different steps of the project using panels on the black board, pictures and the display of actual objects found in the school building, and also worked to exhibit pieces the school students completed during the summer holiday workshop along with the work of the Tsukuba students and teachers. All the creations used materials and artifacts found in the demolished former school building.
Many people attended this exhibition. Among them were not only the regular visitors of the school festival, but also pupils and faculty from Ishigenishi Junior High School, guarantors, alumni, etc. The show appeared to be quite a success as we feel we managed to convey the sentiment of loss that the people of Ishigenishi experienced as well.
The exhibition is scheduled to be displayed at the Ishigenishi school festival too, on October 27th .
