Fukuro: Owls of Hayashibara, Japan

Fukuro

Owls of Hayashibara, Japan An homage to the owl. What other bird has such a multiplicity of personalities that range from the profound dark and deep violence of the raptor to high off the map giddiness and all emotions in between. Cavin-Morris Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition in collaboration with Hayashibara Company in Japan, which sponsors facilities that make materials available for artists with disabilities. Several years ago the Company sponsored a highly received exhibition called My Mona Lisa in which artists were asked to voluntarily submit their impressions of the Leonardo Da Vinci painting. We saw it in Tokyo and were quite delighted. We then visited several of the facilities and very much liked what we saw and how each artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; integrity was not compromised by the micromanagement found in so many workshops where art is used (legitimately) as a therapy tool rather than a pathway to individual artistic expression. We were so inspired at the time by what we saw that we wanted to try it in the gallery with another theme with less baggage and more open to complete individual expression. The result was Fukuro: Owls of Hayashibara, Japan. Using whatever medium each artist chose, from paper to ceramic to cloth, this exhibition carries every nuance of owlhood, from the folkloric to the mass media comic to the whispered abstraction. We were stunned by the range and power of the results and are pleased to pass them on to you.

「アートセンター画楽」は、アートという「装置」をつかって人と人とがつながり、心と心のコミュニケーションの生まれる場所です。創る喜び、その過程の楽しさ、誰かに見てもらう嬉しさを知ること。障害のある人もない人も、様々な表現活動を通じてあたらしい価値を発見し、社会全体が美しい空間になることを願っています。アートかれんは2002年4月に開所。大倉山駅からほど近い商店街の中にある生活介護事業所。絵画、手織りなどの創作活動に加え、生活の自立の為に必要なプログラムにも力を入れている。ギャラリーを併設しており、そちらの企画運営も行っている。

社会福祉法人仙台市手をつなぐ育成会こぶしは、宮城県仙台市にある障害福祉サービス事業所で設立から約３０年の歴史があります。しかし、２０１１年３月に発生した東日本大震災によって、約２０年来の拠点を失ってしまいました。それ以降、多くの方々のご支援をいただき、２０１３年７月１日より新拠点での運営を開始することができました。今後、利用者一人ひとりの地域生活を支え、地域に貢献できる事業所を目指してまいります。

「就労継続支援B型事業所スカイハート灯」は、岡山県真庭市に事業所を持ち、心や体に障がいを持たれた方が地域でその人らしく生活していくための支援を行っています。主な活動内容としては、農業、内職、そして創作活動です。また、描かれた作品を多くの方に見ていただくために、定期的に作品展を行ったり、近年では、「岡山県美術展覧会」に連続入選者を出すなど、その実力を認めていただけるようになりました。

岡山大学教育学部土曜クラブ

毎月１回、岡山大学教育学部美術教室で粘土造形を楽しんでいます。参加者は障がいのある小学生から大人まで集う教室です。大学でこの活動を行うことは、学生にとっても大きな学びとなっています。美術を専門とする教室で障がいのある人への生き生きした作品に触れ、支援する学生の学ともなり、これからの支援を考える造形教室としたいと思っています。

さわらび (さわらびグループ・きらりグループ) さわらびは、大きくさわらびグループ・きらりグループの 2グループに分かれて活動しています。内容としては、絵画・さをり織り・手芸・陶芸等の創作活動からレクリエーション・ミュージックケア・歩行等の運動、外出・調理実習・入浴・畑作業など幅広い活動を取り入れ、日々皆さんが楽しく活動できるよう計画しています。

I n d e pen d en t Liv ing Center for Persons with D i sa b ilities ( C IL) Kat h m an du CIL was founded by Krishna Gautam, herself a person living with disabilities. Since Nepal often has an atmosphere of prejudice towards such persons, Gautam created a safe space for those with disabilities to become more independent. With the support of Japan Women’s University, Gautam has been able to provide arts programs at the center.

CILは、ネパール人で身体に障害のあるKrishna Gautamによって始められた。ネパールでは障害への差別が強く残っているため、それを、障害をもつ者は生活し自立する主体である、という認識に変え、実現させるため、政府や社会への訴えかけ、障害者自身への自立生活訓練などを行っている。創設者のKrishna氏は、ネパールの障がい者の職業訓練校TSDCBDを修了しており、その関係によって、TSDCBDにて美術による教育支援活動を行っていた元日本女子大学学生が、2013年5月にCILにおいても活動を行った。

TSDCBDは、元盲学校教師Shashi Kala Shinghによって始められた身体・視覚障がい者のための職業訓練校である。現在年間600人の生徒が施設に滞在し、コンピュータートレーニングや英語、携帯電話修理など専門的に学んでいる。修了後は、それぞれが身に付けた技術をもって就職し、経済的な自立ができるよう支援も行っている。日本女子大学児童学科の教授西村陽平氏は、本施設で1998年にボランティアとして美術教育支援の活動をしており、相互の関係が築かれていたため、西村の下で学んだ学生が指導者としてそれぞれ一ヶ月間、美術を通した教育支援を行ってきた。
