The Arts of Togetherness contemplates the capacity for contemporary art to shed new light on time-honored cultural practices. Through engaging interactive works, new media artist Sandee Moore and performance artist Yoshinori Niwa, will transpose historical and modern, as well as traditional and popular, Japanese cultural activities into new contexts in order to explore notions of social exchange and community, memory and imagination, and the transformation of ideas over time. Using new and alternative methods and materials to reframe customary cultural activities, the artists aim to underscore transcendent characteristics and to reinvigorate assumptions about the meanings of such practices. Through the course of this exhibition, audiences will be invited to consider how traditions facilitate interpersonal communication and construct harmonious accord. Featured Artists: Sandee Moore (Canada) and Yoshinori Niwa (Japan).
