「PART OF THE ANIMAL / 動物と人間のあいだ」展覧会関連トーク / “PART OF THE ANIMAL” Exhibition Talk
2025年3月9日に東京の生活工房ギャラリーで「PART OF THE ANIMAL / 動物と人間のあいだ」の展覧会関連イベントとして、「動物をめぐる対話2–それぞれの環世界、共に動物である私たち」というタイトルのもと、人類学者の石倉敏明さんと詩人の管啓次郎さんと2時間半にわたるトークを行いました。
管さんの動物に関する詩の朗読、私のライオンの彫刻についての映像の上映、3人での対話を通して、私たちは一度バラバラになってしまった専門分野の知識や経験や技術を持ち寄って混ぜ合わせて、どのようにして地球に生きる一種として現行の暴挙をやめて、他の動物や生物、無生物と繋がり、それらの権利や尊厳を尊重しながら生きていけるのかについて、観覧者も一緒に考える機会となりました。

On March 9, 2025, the anthropologist Toshiaki Ishikura, the poet Keijiro Suga and I held a talk under the title “Dialogue on Animals II: Everyone’s Umwelt – We All Are Animals Together” as a related event of the exhibition “PART OF THE ANIMAL” at Lifestyle Design Center in Tokyo.
Keijiro read his poems about animals, I presented my storytelling video about a lion sculpture, and three of us discussed how we human, as a species living on Earth, can bring together our disjointed knowledges and experiences and mix them again to stop our ongoing outrage, connect with other animals, living and nonliving beings, and live together while respecting their existence and rights, with the talk audiences.
