Creative Workshop with Takako Takeuchi

In conjunction with the screening of the video work, the artist will hold a workshop where participants will learn how to make their own so-called purification wands in the Shide technique, which is used in Shinto rituals in Japan. Shide is a technique where paper is folded in a traditional way to symbolize lightning and sacred presence. These are then placed on sacred tree branches and used to purify places that have a strong energy and that mean a lot to the individual.
