In mocaken “About Bodies” program. Each of us has a different body, and we experience and feel different things depending on our age, physical characteristics, and culture. Learning about these differences not only helps us understand the barriers between people and museums and learn how to enjoy museums together, but it may also help us imagine others and perceive the world from a different perspective.

air Tunnel, exhibited in the Touch, Untangle, Tones! exhibition, has been used in child welfare facilities and other settings to support developmental learning and therapeutic activities.
In this talk, Osaki Haruchi will discuss the sensory characteristics of children with developmental disorders, including cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder, which served as the inspiration for his work. He will also share observations from when the piece was used in therapeutic settings and reflections on how children experience air Tunnel in the exhibition.
