The Kanako Ide Laboratory of Hirosaki University, Faculty of Education and Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Aomori Public University [ACAC] have been conducting collaborative research since FY2021 on art and the sense of smell which have attracted much attention in the art world in recent years. To explore the possibilities of smell in contemporary art, a workshop was held in Nov. 2023 with Hisako Inoue who is an artist conducting smell and memory. During the workshop, participants had time to reflect on themselves and their lives through their individual experiences of smell and to talk with others. This exhibition is the result of the workshop and will be a place where visitors can travel back to their memories and open their senses to the past, present, and future by gaining insight into the characteristics, culture, and history of the local site as got glimpses through the experiences of other people’s smells.
