Guest Room:
Oluremi Onabanjo

Guest Room aims to spark collaborations. That’s why Oluremi Onabanjo is teaming up with Hideko Ono in choosing the theme for this instalment. Hideko is managing the overseas division at Benrido Atelier in Kyoto, Japan, and founded MNK press. Hideko has provided the following prompt as a framework for your submissions:

touch, body, gesture

three words wherein there are endless abstract and concrete possibilities to communicate what goes beyond or beneath the surface of language, welcoming an amplification of open-ended interpretations. Portrait by Naima Green
