MONO JAPAN Online AIR 2020-2021

MONO JAPAN ONLINE AIR is a project with new challenges, as research, discussions and the creation of prototype products will take place digitally only. MONO JAPAN brings together Dutch participants who are keen to learn about the Japanese way of working with various materials, with Japanese partners who apply centuries-old craft techniques.

We have selected 2 Japanese partners to launch this ONLINE AIR program. Our first partner is a mud dye textile maker and our second partner consists of three organizations centered around bamboo crafts. The MONO JAPAN ONLINE AIR will be held from October 2020 to April 2021.

Collaborated pairs:

Paul Beumer (Artist) x Yukihito Kanai (Artist, Mud Dye Craftsman)

Studio Nienke Hoogvliet (Design studio) x Chikara Kojima (Bamboo crafts Artist ) with Ōita City, Japan local coordinator, Toshihiko Nishida
