Network based Multi-site Design Flooring Tiles Art Workshop
EXPO 2025 Thematic Project “Invigorating Lives” (Producer NAKAJIMA Sachiko)
As part of the Osaka-Kansai Expo theme project "Enhancing Life" advocated by producer Nakajima Sachiko, a tile workshop will be held at the Jellyfish Pavilion and multiple other locations as a concerto to connect children's creativity. This is not just a fun tile workshop, but an event program that will be held simultaneously at multiple locations (1) the Jellyfish Pavilion, 2) a nursing facility, 3) a hospital pediatric ward, and 4) classrooms at elementary, middle, high, and university levels, without a set theme, where participants will be inspired by each other, feel excited, and learn about the STEAM elements that will lead to the creation of the tile workshop.

Programme details
The tile workshop is an event that can be enjoyed not only by "healthy people" but also by "children with disabilities" and "children in various circumstances" (0-120 years old). By implementing this workshop, we have experienced that the "participants' (children's) expressions become brighter" in both medical settings (pediatric wards) and rehabilitation settings (facilities for disabled children), and that it has the effect of "enhancing life". This time, it will not be held at a single facility, but will connect the jellyfish museum and event venue with multiple venues (hospitals, facilities, schools, etc.) online, and "children" from various circumstances will simultaneously collaborate through the tile workshop. The program also focuses on STEAM elements, and attention will be paid to the colors and patterns selected by the children. We will also challenge whether the uniqueness of the "psychological state and feelings" that can be read from the works can be expressed as a mathematical algorithm. In addition, the materials used will be actively utilized, such as trial products and items with an expiry date approaching, contributing to wasteful disposal. SDGs elements will also be taken into consideration.
*We would hold several workshops within these 2 hours.
