My Hijiyama Notes: Island, Mountain, Hill, and Sometimes a Cat
ART iT
This exhibition at Hiroshima MOCA explores the history and multi-layered nature of Hijiyama through participatory programs and creative archives.Summary
The exhibition "My Hijiyama Notes: Island, Mountain, Hill, and Sometimes a Cat" at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art (Hiroshima MOCA) investigates the complex history of Hijiyama, which was once an island. By mapping the area’s layers—from Jomon-period shell mounds to its modern identity—the project seeks to create a multi-sensory archive. Through collaborative workshops, including bird watching and the collection of local soil, scents, and sounds, participants contribute to a creative dialogue that reinterprets the mountain as a site of collective memory.
