Video descriptions below.In between the screenings there will be an open and informal group discussion guided by the question: what can we learn and remember when we consider people as libraries – of knowledge, experience, history and memory? This event is about intergenerational exchange and learning so it would be wonderful if you were able to bring along a family member, someone from your community, or a ‘teacher’ to join you at the event. This is not a requirement so please feel welcome to come by yourself or with friends.The event is free but ticketed, please reserve your place and that of your companion.

In 2016, she lived with an Ainu woman called Ms. Katsue Kaizawa and studied the making of Ainu kimono, embroidery, and salmon-skin shoes. In Autumn Salmon, she focuses on the idea of process and making-as-sensory-research. In Ainu culture, salmon used to serve key economic, religious, and spiritual roles. Ainu Hunter, Mon-chan (25.50 minutes)Ainu Hunter, Mon-chan explores an idea of ecology of empathy between human and non-human worlds. This work is a video essay which includes an oral history from a member of the Ainu community, Mon-chan (Atsushi). Using visual and audio recordings that Eiko Soga collected in 2019, she questioned how we can imagine a future that is more ecological and inclusive, with a sense of reciprocity? — This event is a response to Market Gallery’s Resource Library, a small lending library home to a growing collection of books on anti-racism and solidarity across global political movements. The library functions as an educational resource where learning and conversations can take place. — Emmy Yoneda is a Japanese-Scottish artist, whose interdisciplinary practice explores the connection between the politics of memory and inherited histories/landscapes through moving image, drawing, and writing. She is currently developing a research project considering transnational perspectives on Japanese history through art, literature, and film. She is based in Glasgow. <a href="https://www.eikosoga.com/" title="https://www.eikosoga.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Eiko Soga</a> is a London-based Japanese artist, lecturer, and researcher working with moving images, photography, poetry, and installation.
