Open Lecture by Tomoko Konoike – October 29, Ülikooli 16 – Room 216

We are pleased to invite you to an open lecture “Wolves Travelling between Forests and Humans” by the distinguished artist Tomoko Konoike, to be held on Wednesday, October 29, from 12:15 to 13:45, Ülikooli 16 – Room 216.

About the speaker:

Born in 1960 in Akita Prefecture, Tomoko Konoike graduated from the Department of Painting (Japanese Painting) at Tokyo University of the Arts. Her creative journey has spanned a wide range of media, including animation, illustrated books, painting, sculpture, songs, photography, handicrafts, and fairy tales. In addition to her art practice, she has engaged in interdisciplinary collaborations, created site-specific works inspired by local climates and terrains, and persistently explored primordial questions about art.

About the lecture:

In this talk, Konoike will discuss art as the foundation of all education, offering insights into ways of perceiving the world without going through human language and considering non-human audiences through the lens of her own works. The lecture will also serve as a “prediction” the forest and hand puppet workshop that will follow in the coming days.

All are warmly welcome to attend.

Date: Wednesday, October 29
Time: 12:15 – 13:45
Venue: Ülikooli 16 – Room 216

We look forward to seeing you there.

Organised by Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore with Support from Centre for Oriental Sudies
