About the IJIE-ROHOU Project<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a project that was born out of an exchange program between the Graduate School of Global Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts and the Graduate School of Trans-disciplinary Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts. In the past, we have actually traveled to each other\u2019s countries and had opportunities to experience respective art and history, but this year we have had several online meetings since September. In the process, we could have opportunities to talk directly with each other about the situations surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and to think about globalization, which is accelerating the flow of people and information, and we have held several presentations and exchanges of opinions under the theme of \u201cMuseum without border.\u201d After acknowledging various borders concerning nation, gender, and health, how can we think about them critically and overcome them? The fact that the subject matter we studied and thought about together was so directly related to our daily experiences must be a unique feature of this event, which is different from those in past years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recognition of the fact that we are currently both together and separated at the same time, the title was coined the phrase composed of two Kanjis (Chinese characters) from the English word \u201cWith-Out,\u201d as both sides share a Kanji culture. The Taiwanese side came up with the word that means both \u201cdifferent\u201d and \u201cunraveled\u201d at the same time, while the Japanese side came up with the word that denotes walking \u201croad\u201d (michi) being covered with \u201cbubble\u201d, and put them together to form the title of this project. On January 30, 2021, the students participating in this project will simultaneously start walking from their respective university campuses in the direction of the other. The actions of individuals will gradually become a group and walking from one place to another will create a story that connects different things. We will share with each other what we discover along the way, and occasionally stop to carry out performances or workshops. Although they cannot meet physically, this \u201cIJIE-ROHOU\u201d project is realized as an attempt to share the same time and learn about the differences in how we feels and our society.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u203bThis project is conducted as part of the Arts Study Abroad Program (ASAP) of the Graduate School of Global Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts.<\/span><\/p>\n
