"KOTODAMA - the magic of words"
13. October 2023 - 26. January 2024
at Frauenkreise, Berlin
(Chorinerstr.10, 10119 Berlin)
Kotodama: meaning the spirit that dwells in words. In ancient Japan it was believed that the spiritual power that resides in words could realise the content of linguistic expressions.
There are two sides to this belief: positive words are actively used to realise that which they express, and negative words are avoided or shunned. With this inherent energy, the words one utters can directly affect reality and manifest changes, for better or for worse.
This exhibition presents a series of works in which words are incorporated into the Haruka’s artworks with gold-leaf calligraphy, bringing wealthy vibrational energy.
Exhibition : 13.10.2023 - 26.01.2024

Haruka Sasaki & Ernst Bier
Sound Painting - improvisation-
in collaboration with Jazz drummer Ernst Bier and painter Haruka Sasaki.
The two artists inspire each other in the space of the "moment" ; improvise their new creations with sound, art and movement in the art space of Werkhalle Wiesenburg.
Haruka Sasaki - Sumi-e Painting
Coming from Nagano, Japan, a region embraced by its flourishing landscapes, her artistic sensibilities are deeply rooted in this nurturing environment. Influenced by the profound philosophies of Buddhism, the timeless customs of Shinto, and an unwavering belief in the spirits that reside within nature, her artistic journey unfolds.
Haruka's creations extend beyond the tangible, paying homage to the unseen forces that inhabit all living beings, even inanimate matter.
Sumi-e painting is one of the Japanese traditional art forms also called Suibokuga, Haruka's movements shaking the air tributes to the spirits of the sound and the space.

Ernst Bier - Drums
Once a student of Billy Brooks, Charlie Persip, Vernell Fournier and Elvin Jones.
In reference to his drumming, words such as "high empathy, devotion and constructiveness" are heard early on. The Bonner Rundschau newspaper attests him "musicality and playfulness". When he, like many European jazz musicians, feels the urge to "get to the roots", Bier consequently immerses himself in the New York scene from 1982 to 1987. Back in Europe, active touring work follows in a large number of different projects, the search for the liveliest scene finally leads him to Berlin.

Workshop: Vielfalt der Kalligraphie
at Sommerferienprogramm im Young Arts Donaustraße
Hast du jemals darüber nachgedacht, wie Menschen in anderen Teilen der Welt miteinander kommunizieren? In diesem Workshop experimentieren wir mit Schriftzeichen aus verschiedenen Kulturen und erforschen die Kunstform der Kalligraphie. Wir werden eine Zeitreise machen, um zu sehen, wie sich Schriftzeichen aus der Vergangenheit bis heute entwickelt haben und wie z.B. Tiere oder das Gewitter und andere Merkmale dabei eine wichtige Rolle spielen (z. B. Schriftzeichen der Maya, aus Japan, Alt-Ägypten, aber auch das griechische und arabische Alphabet).
Am Ende des Workshops hat jede*r von euch die Möglichkeit, sein eigenes Alphabet zu schreiben.
Kursleiter*innen: Haruka Sasaki, Melina Castillo, Hanaa El Degham und Dimitra Merz
Alter: 9-12 Jahre
Wo: Donaustr. 42, 12043 Berlin
Uhrzeit: 9-13 Uhr
