Ryoiki No Yukiki/Traversing Territories will present a one day event showcasing the recent developments from the collaborations of young new media artists based in Britain and Japan.

Traversing Territories brings fresh talent of young Nottingham and Tokyo artists together in a progressive collaboration which challenges our notions of geographic borders and communication barriers.

For one day only, latest developments from this multidisciplinary team of artists will be showcased in a merging and colliding of image, form, sound and movement, with interactive installation, video, photography, object and live multi-media performance. Contemporary sound artist Christophe Charles (FR/JP) and pioneering new media artist Frank Abbott (UK) will also be making contributions to the day's events.

This is part of an exchange project promoting long-term creative dialogue between emerging artists in Britain and Japan. A network which investigates and debates the crossing of cultural, geographical, linguistic and artistic borders. When barriers are continuously being broken, which new ones are simultaneously formed?

Traversing Territories is promoting cross-cultural communication, the exchange of ideas and the experience of artistic and educational practices in another country. It is intended to encourage further international cooperation in the arts and to expose people to new approaches to art.

Live performance from 7.30pm.
