Creaxel
What is Creaxel?
Creaxel is a project that aims to create opportunities for APU students and artists from Beppu to interact and learn from each other based on the themes of traditional crafts and sustainable art. Specific activities include hosting workshops with artists based in Beppu and organizing visits for APU students to local creative hubs where they can learn about artistic practices.
Opening Event
On Thursday, December 5, shortly after being selected for Project B, Creaxel held an opening event at the Green Commons. They invited Ms. Fumiyo Jinma, who runs a gallery café in Beppu, to speak about kimono and kimono recycling and upcycling. Artworks by Leon, an artist active in Beppu, were also exhibited at the venue. Additionally, a kimono fitting experience was offered, where participants could try on kimono in an easy and accessible way.
