Project:
The third edition of Yo No Bi Tour (用の美ツアー）saw Japanese musicians Tomoko Sauvage and ASUNA invited to perform in Cumbria, Manchester and Sheffield. The artists were asked to create short sound installations which they combined with performance and talks.
By focusing on towns in the North of England, AME was able to complete its mission of introducing Japanese experimental art to audiences in regional areas which are often overlooked when it comes to international programmes.
