This show always amazes me, asking basic and critical questions in a super informative way.
This show never simplifies complex subjects it deals with. And this animation, pinky's voice... really special.
Tonight's hanare was full. Thanks. We had workaholic Arkadi, choreographer and dancer based in Tel-Aviv, saying hello to hanare. He has been working on the project, creating a piece with six Japanese dancers in 2 weeks. The performance will be happening here. Arkadi told me that Judith Butler was giving a lecture at Freedom Theater, community theater in Jenin, where young kids are taught to use culture and art as a tool for fighting for freedom. Arkadi translated me that she was discussing about how she agrees with the economic boycott, but disagrees with cultural boycott, and how her study connects to this ongoing war the state of Israel is conducting against Palestine. I need to look for English translation.
"How can we make the experience of raising children more creative?" Presented by the coupls who recently became parents
hanare
has been experiencing small "baby boom." Two couples who are hanare's
organizing members recently gave birth, and some of our friends also
had children recently. Thinking our age, this boom will probably
continue, meaning that the issues related to raising kids is emergent
for us as well. In Japan where the environment for raising kids is
severely harsh, poor social services for working parents while a
fragmented community network is too weak to provide helpful hands. And
the worse, the old social norms against women, working parents, single
mothers, now met with the poor working condition within neo-liberal
economy, are making an experience of raising children extremely
difficult. Having listed all these negative aspects faced by new
parents, hanare decides to host a series of discussions/lectures with
hope that we will continue to seek ways to live in a creative,
political, aesthetic, and socially connected ways while bringing up
newly born babies. For the first discussion of the series, we will talk
randomly about an individual experience and thought on the issue of
raising children, but later we hope to learn interesting attempt
happening in other parts of the world, maybe having guests to do
lectures, and we eventually aim to create a loose network of people to
practice our own way of bringing up children. We don't want to
limit this opportunity only to parents, but those who might have their
own/adapted babies in the future, or those who don't want to have their
own children, but nevertheless participate in the experience of raising
children, or even those who don't like children at all, are all welcome.

Elisa, who is currently staying at hanarerad- Interesting People in Residence,
will talk about both her autonomous visual artwork, and her engagement
with the social context of fashion through her work. She will introduce
her 'Clothing Display' research that she will develop during her stay
at hanarerad (Feb/March 2010). This research aims to explore and
develop future displays of clothing and their function within the
(re-)presentation of fashion.
[Profile] Elisa Marchesini
(Dutch / Italian, 1983) is a visual artist. She graduated with honours
from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2006 and is based in Amsterdam.
Marchesini's working methods can be compared to that of a modern-day
anthropologist: deconstructing and unravelling existing frameworks
mainly connected to the representation of fashion. Working in a wide
range of media, i.e. installations, photo series and performances she
investigates the various relationships between body-space-time-garment,
and questions protocols within the mechanisms of production and
presentation in fashion. Her work is presented simultaneously in art
and fashion related environments, such as the Arnhem Fashion Biennial,
Amsterdam International Fashion Week, Milk Gallery New York City,
Zendai Museum of Modern Art Shanghai and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. http://www.elisamarchesini.com/
