ACTIVITIES
Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Política
Grêmio Recreativo Escola de Política was founded in October 2010 as an experimental assemblage by Yasuto Masumoto. The aim is to think from where we are about a way of thinking to deal or not to deal with something political, social and historical issues that either we find it more difficult to approach or have yet to be solved at least for us.
The Academy of Alter Globalization
The Academy of Alter-globalization was founded in Tokyo in 2011 as a kind of school for experimental thoughts by Susumu Harada, Yasuto Masumoto, Yuka Akiyama. The aim is to think, imagine and study other possibilities of lifestyles, way of thinking and perceptions with a focus on where we are.
Picnic
On October 15, I tried to make a journey of the writing something about “Picnic” by myself, considering the side stories, such as the picnic among the rich in UK in the 19 century, Pan-European Picnic in Sopron, Hungary, 1989 that leads to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the political meetings called picnic that has taken place at cafe in France around the era of the French Revolution, also trying to re-think deeply our frequent picnic that takes place in Kyoto. It was really tough and in the end I realized that the writing could not stop as well as picnicking. so I think we should not think what it is and control how we do. Every time might be beautiful and silly, and in the ambiguity our picnic could be good.. i guess
