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.
