Meander
Meander is a space for documentation and experimentation within our website, a place to reflect on our projects and artists, as well as a way to explore intersections between those works, artists, and themes we study under our mission (Japanese experimental moving image works made in 1950s-1980s), and those that fall outside of our mission’s specific framework of timeframe, genres, and nationality.
Meander may take multiple forms including essays, introductions to artists and their work, online screening programs, or special digital projects. Offerings in Meander may suggest oblique angles from which to see CCJ’s mission-specific works, artists, histories, or practices.

Through our Meander program, we have platformed artists of the Japanese diaspora (Midi Onodera and Kioto Aoki), women artists from the 1980s and 1990s (Mari Terashima, Haruka Doi & more), and collaborations between Japanese artists and those of other nationalities (Japanese-Taiwanese collective Ground Level Cinema).
