Students’ Activities

One’s Room is an immersive collective exhibition that unfolds as the domestic space of an autofictionnal character named One. It embraces the old, wooden and organic architecture of Datsuijo. One isn’t physically present, yet they have forged profound connections with the material space of their room. Within it, drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, but also cloth, furniture, books, food, plants, a diary, and all sorts of things that can be found in a house, are a tangible manifestation of their ever-evolving, mixed and elusive identity. Each of these items holds stories, emotional connections, and imaginaries, inviting us to rummage into their intimacy.

This multilingual musical play features 5 languages, including non-native speakers and dialects. Many of our members are immigrants with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Throughout our creative process, we have sought to empower each other to create an open and equal space. Standing up against language- and/or culture-based discrimination, we are exploring new possibilities in stage production with no hierarchy. Here, our immigrant members celebrate their identities with pride. We also encourage our audience to engage in open dialogues before and after the performance.

After completing their graduate studies, alumni are active in various fields such as producers, curators, researchers, and more. We interviewed them about their learning experiences during their studies at GA and their current careers. We will introduce their authentic voices as they explore new frontiers in art with an international perspective.
