ZHF will host a panel discussion and film screening on 19 June 2025 to launch Michaela Nettell’s new book, which brings together fresh interpretations of Kazuo Shinohara’s 1961 Umbrella House by a group of women working across fine art, filmmaking, creative writing, architecture and Japanese calligraphy.
Join the artist and her collaborators to hear more about their research and pick up a copy of her newly published pamphlet ‘A totally different world.’ The artist’s 8mm film study of Umbrella House will be screened alongside excerpts from Emily Richardson’s HOUSE WORKS, a trilogy of artist’s films about prototype houses built in East Anglia in the 1960s by architects known to be interested in cultural currents in Japan, and artist Emily Speed’s Tate Liverpool-commissioned film Flatland (2021).
