Val LEE (ACC 2018, 2024), with the support of a grant from ACC, conducted research on blind football in Japan for one month in 2024, in preparation for a new work. After interviewing blind football teams such as Garuha Aomori and Ryukyu Agachi, and watching the Japanese Championship, Lee created new photo works based in Aomori Contemporary Art Center. Lee will share her insights into this research experience in Japan and the creation process in Aomori.
