*Alcoholic beverages will only be served to participants aged 20 and over.

*This event will be conducted in Japanese only.
A talk event exploring photography and local liquor will be held. Photographer and novelist Shimizu Yuki will speak about her artistic practice to date, as well as her recent research in Aomori.
Shimizu’s artistic practice is grounded in research into local histories, folklore, and oral traditions. Since 2021, Shimizu has also been contributing Bar Landscape, an essay series for Ringo Letterpublished by Akaaka Art Publishing, in which wine serves as a point of departure for conjuring landscapes and histories.
This event will bring together liquor produced in Aomori and selections from Shimizu’s photographic works, creating an experience that connects visual art with the senses of smell and taste.
In addition, we are collaborating with the “Aomori Port Cozy Living Market”, which started last year as a market created by everyone, and we are planning a small after-party at the same venue after the talk, where you can enjoy drinks as a “pop-up Kuramaru”.
