Event information (Workshop) SILENT DREAMING : Experience Japanese Ba (18 places) The Japanese concept of Ba is the context shared by those interacting with each other. We are corporeal beings, in a physical environment, and are related to each other as well as to our history and culture. We usually communicate with other people through words, but we often communicate what we feel as well (through body language, tone etc.). If we are conscious of the Ba we can create nice places to be together. In this gathering Emiko Tsuyuki (professor of sociology), Chikako Watanabe (artist) and Renate Schepen (philosopher) come together to share their work and invite you to learn about and experience the concept of Ba. Place : STUDIO CHIKAKO WATANBE (Pakhuis Wilhelmina/Veemkade 580 Amsterdam) Date : 10 March (Tuesday) 2026 Time : 15:00 - 17:30 Entrance fee : € 25 (including drinks and bites) To register please send a mail to Chikako Watanabe : chika@chikahome.nl Emiko Tsuyuki is Professor in Chuo Business School, Chuo University, Tokyo Japan.

Chikako Watanabe is a Visual Artist. She accomplished in Kyoto City University of Arts, Ceramic (BA/MA), Sandberg Instituut, Applied Arts Department (MA), Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten.
