Rakhmi Fitriani
Since its opening, the Akita City Cultural Creation Center has invited creators from diverse fields and carried out experimental activities to inspire creativity together with citizens. From a total of 306 applications received from Japan and abroad, Indonesian artist Rakhmi Fitriani was selected for this year’s residency. She has been staying in Akita City since September 1, engaging in workshops and research. We are now pleased to present the results of her residency in this exhibition.

Fitriani’s proposed project, Tapestry of Landscapes, is a collective art-making process in which people who meet for the first time share their personal experiences and memories, and then stitch them together into a woven “landscape story.”
Through six workshops held at the Cultural Creation Center and exchanges with visitors, she has collected stories of “landscape memories” related to about 50 different locations in Akita. In the latter half of her stay, she repeatedly visited the sites mentioned by participants, seeking to embody and deeply experience Akita’s landscapes through her own body.

For the presentation, Fitriani is creating new works in collaboration with local volunteers by combining the fabrics contributed by citizens with colors, shapes, and impressions of landscapes she encountered during her travels. Her project offers us opportunities to imagine the hidden stories embedded in the landscapes around us. At this exhibition, visitors will find both a space for sharing stories about the landscapes that have shaped us and artworks created collectively. In addition, a talk event will be held with a guest speaker to hear directly from the artist about her residency. This will be a rare opportunity to gain deeper insight into Fitriani’s perspectives. We warmly invite you to join us.
