The city and personal identity, discovered by staying at home
This online project is jointly organized by Tokyo Festival and Bangkok International Performing Arts Meeting, a leading theatre and dance platform in Southeast Asia. Participants recruited in both Tokyo and Bangkok exchange their research, rediscovering the city and sowing the seeds of future output. The project explores the theme of “mapping from home.” Leaving your home and broadening your horizons to take in the street, area, and city, how does your own identity connect to geographical and societal contexts? The process and results of investigating this question are also shown publicly in a gallery.
Schedule
Friday, September 17 – Monday (holiday), September 20, 2021

Participants
[Team Tokyo]
Lana Tran
Born in Toronto, 1989; Based in Tokyo since 2011. Lana Tran is a doctoral student and Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholar in Art Studies and Curatorial Practices at Tokyo University of the Arts. After developing arts exhibitions and intercultural programs in urban environments with the artist-led centre 3331 Arts Chiyoda (Tokyo), Lana attained a Master of Museum Studies from the University of Toronto in 2019.
Her current research considers how place-based heritage and memory is collected, archived and (re)presented in contemporary Japanese art projects. Drawing from her familial experience with migration, Lana also asks how we negotiate our relationship with place and displacement—a question she explores with her adopted dog Pepper.
LILY SHU
Born in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, China. LILY SHU has been interested in literature and music since she was a child. After studying history and philosophy in Japan and the UK, LILY SHU began to create videos and photographic works, seeking visual expression in a poetic space.
Her work reveals a critique of visible and invisible politics, and a quest for the unique temporality and materiality of photography. Growing up while witnessing the rapid development of the insular cultural environment in China, LILY SHU is interested in the physicality and actions created beyond surveillance system and censorship. Doubting the way individuals should be, how each person is involved, and the issues of identity and space beyond that are the main themes of her creation.
