Purpose of the residency

I wish to use the TOKAS residency to develop a curatorial understanding of how biotechnology erases agricultural heritage in India and Japan — two deeply rice-centric cultures facing similar pressures from corporate monocultures. Tokyo's proximity to rice-growing regions, institutions such as the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC), Miraikan and the NARO genebank, and a thriving bioart community will allow me to conduct fieldwork and, build collaborations with Japanese artists and scientists.

Plan during the residency

• Archival and institutional research at places like NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC), Miraikan and the NARO genebank. Fieldwork visits to heritage rice-growing regions in Niigata Prefecture.
• Meet and connect with Japanese artists, scientists, and community groups interested in bioart, agriculture, rice cultures, facilitated through Bioclub Tokyo and TOKAS.
