This is the final session of the Kids Creative Institute's three-month series.

This time, we held a session titled “A Philosophical Dialogue on ‘Oku’?”
Guest speakers: Yasuki Fujinaka (artist) and Yuri Torabase (NPO Children’s Philosophy, Adults’ Philosophy Ada-Coda)

■ What does “oku” mean?

Have you ever put something there?

What’s the “oku” we’re all doing today…?

You and someone else take turns placing objects in the white spaces, and that becomes the artwork.

But I can't chat today.

(*“Oku” is a work by guest lecturer Mr. Fujinaka. https://fujinakakoki.myportfolio.com/oku)

■ Trying Out “Oku”

■ “Can You Communicate Without Using Words?”

■Creating a Chatty World "Behind the Scenes"
