A tent village – Private into public

A tent village – Private into public

2 large drawings and interview text was about an isolated community in Japan.

In summer 2014, I was in Tokyo researching the meaning of ‘uchi’ (home) by interviewing people in the street to ask what home means for them. One day, I came upon the tent village in Yoyogi park in Shibuya in the middle of Tokyo. I spent the whole summer there to hear their voices and to observe the reality of politics and society in Tokyo. How do private and public space coexist in this forgotten part of Tokyo?
