This November, we present a fourth offering in our Community of Images series as part of our Meander program. In partnership with curator Elizabeth Jesse, we are thrilled to introduce the work of Kioto Aoki, an active Chicago-based artist, educator, and musician.

This October, we present our third program in the ongoing series, Community of Images: Japanese Moving Image Artists in the US, 1960s-1970s - a selection of early works by the artist Keiji Uematsu, made during his period of residence in Düsseldorf, West Germany. The screening is accompanied by a partial translation of a 2016 interview with the artist conducted by the Japanese Oral Art History Archive.

In December's Monthly Membership Feature, we conclude access to view works by Keiji Uematsu with three performances on camera.

In November, we continue to explore the works of Keiji Uematsu.

CCJ is launching our Membership program with benefits to access the Membership Monthly Feature, a monthly selection of artists' work(s) on our viewing platform, and discounts on special online screening and event programs. You can now learn more about Japanese experimental moving image artists and works while supporting CCJ!
