“Fukutoshin II _ Chiba Kaihin (Coastal) District Project” is consist of the following two bases starting at a reclaimed land.

One is “history survey tour” which focuses on communications with local people and finds local stories and traces of changes hidden in daily life as “Lifestyle Heritage.”
Another is an exhibition with a motif of “tourist information center.” With keywords “resilience,” “tolerance” and “healing,” it restructures local memories visually and spatially by exhibiting artworks created based on the survey.

In this project, “Fukutoshin II” pursues a new relationship between the contemporary urban environment and ourselves. We lose the connection between us and sceneries or memories in the past while we are driven by our daily life and the streetscape transforms before we know it. We are even losing the sense of how we should be.
We will spotlight memories hidden locally and make an opportunity to consider how we can reframe our own environment through the process from survey to exhibition, as well as “from what relationship we can create our own environment.”

I hope we will see many viewpoints in this project as a place to share perspectives to review the local community itself and as a challenge to dig out memories hidden in an urban city.
