Last chance to get your infectious dose of Yōji Kuri on CCJ! What Do You Think? depicts the modern mind — flitting between media (found footage, animation, stop motion) as quickly as topics (sex, news, war). Huge thanks to @matsu_fusako and @yojikuri. collabjapan.org/events/2025/…

Sawako Gōda was an artist interviewed by Yōji Kuri in 1973, whose artworks had a distinctly Gothic sensibility — from painted eggs to sculptures made from horse bone. Enjoy this fascinating insight into Gōda’s work and life, now on CCJ! 🦋 @matsu_fusako collabjapan.org/events/2025/…
