Art Action's UK Respite Residency Project 2012 has been completed with amazing results.

| Emotionally charged Hanasaki's performance |
 |
| Thunderstorm and Powercut did not affect Hanasaki's delivery |
 |
One of the most touching
moment was when an audience asked
"what we might be able to do
for people in Fukushima?"
The answer from a Fukushima
local artist
and organiser of Project Fukushima! Mr. Otomo was
"Just be a friend, and please don't forget us." |
Responding to the above request and recognising the current context of Fukushima where residents feel isolated, and forgotten,
Hanasaki has collected more than 120 signitures and words of encouragement on a Banner which is going back to Fukushima.
She also collected over 100 portraits of people wearing protective masks which will be made into an installation art in Japan on her return.
We will be continuing our effort to bring more artists from affected areas.
