Participating Project	Curator Residency Program
Activity Base	Ballarat (Australia)
City / Place stayed	Tokyo
Period	2025.6 - 2025.7

Purpose of the residency

The research will address the rising awareness of gender, and the important but often unacknowledged role of groups and collaborations in the artistic methods and outputs of contemporary artists. I would like to meet with artists whose artworks and studio environment are shaped by informal mentorships, friendships, and even supportive romantic partners. The research will also focus on artists who work in named groups, or share studios and art-making equipment with other artists.
The research will open up discussion and opportunities for English-language published article/s, cross-cultural collaborations, and inspire exhibition proposal/s for Australian or Japanese art institutions.

Plan during the residency

• meetings and studio visits with artists
• gallery meetings, exhibition visits
• visits to art schools
• presentations and discussions with fellow international residents
