Going on a trip. Departing from here, wondering around the places that you don’t know, meeting the new cultures, perceptions and people, moving forwards while occasionally taking a pause. Travelling brings with it diverse ways of being and perspectives on the world, and makes your everyday life fruitful.
However, physical travelling might not be as easy as we imagine it, depending on how flexible you are. Yet, even though you might be unable to go somewhere far away, you are instead able to imagine what the undiscovered place will be looked like. That act would be a form of preparation for going on a trip, and that in itself will lead you to somewhere that isn’t here.

In this exhibition, titled “Going on a Trip, Getting Ready.”, the expressions of seven different groups of people with disabilities will be introduced. To treat us as each different individuals who obtain each different experiences and perceptions, time, and ways of thinking. If these differences exist, those of us who live with others can be as a traveler between them. Their expressions are sure to help us rediscover the diversity and richness of their world views. That will help us to see a view differently from the one we see right now, and to transform it beautifully, taking us to the future that we anticipate to come.

*This is a traveling exhibition of exhibitions held at Kyoto City Museum of Art Annex from December 9th to 26th.
