Unfolding Shibaura

Dates: November 8, 14, and 15, 2026

Venue: Shibaura House, and the neighbourhood of Shibaura, Tokyo

Unfolding Shibaura is a three-part creative workshop bridging circular practices, urban exploration, and personal narrative through drawing and writing. In this workshop we explore sketch & script as an indulgence in the most fundamental human skill, making traces with the hand that expresses one’s mind. Sketching places is simultaneously the process of searching for, and it is our immediate contribution to the meaning of that place, something that we see at the very core of its urban quality. We strongly believe that the complexity of the urban and many qualities of urban environment cannot be understood and studied through the numerical methods alone. This dialectic relationship between the place and self, and between a person and the media involve all senses and generate creative tensions.

The workshop has started on November 8th, with a small impromptu exhibition of Davisi's orihon palimpsest. The event will continue next week 14, 15 November.
