Ko Murobushi Symposium

The organisers are presenting their symposium on Ko Murobishi as three “nights of talk sessions” at Café Shy. In the spirit of Plato’s symposium – with sake, rice and Japanese sweets – high-caliber guests will talk to and with the interested audience about Ko Murobushi and his artistic and intellectual impact and presence. Frédéric Pouillaude from the University of Aix-Marseille has been busy with questions about art and anarchy as well as with Ko Murobushi's singular form of freedom; Stephen Barber, award-winning art historian, Artaud translator and Berlin and Japan specialist from Kingston University in London, Katja Centonze from Ca' Foscari University of Venice, writer Romina Achatz and the Japanese researchers and authors Yuma Ochi, Hanako Takayama, Kuniichi Uno, Shinichi Takeshige, Chiaki Hori and Kenichiro Ezawa from Tokyo Metropolitan University, Meiji University and Rikkyo University complete this illustrious and convivial panel. The programme is complemented by nightly film screenings such as Zarathustra (Tokyo, 1981).
