Cocoroom and the University of the Arts, Kamagasaki
Cocoroom was established in 2003. Its official name is “Incorporated Nonprofit, Room of Voice (koe), Words (kotoba), and Heart (kokoro).” Voice is the expression of life, Words are the expression for response, and the Heart is the wings for imagination. As the full name indicates, Cocoroom is exploring how these different aspects of expression can engage with society.
In 2008 we moved to Kamagasaki, where truly all kinds of people live, and there we organized art and social activities such as “KAMAGEI” (Kamagasaki University of the Arts), a street medical clinic and a nightwatch for homeless people. In April 2016 we relocated and opened the Cocoroom Guesthouse Café and Garden to make a space for travellers and local people to meet each other.
