Published in 2024 by the Yanai Initiative in conjunction with The Art of the Benshi world tour, this book traces the history of benshi performance: from screenings in the United States to the transformations of theater architecture and musical accompaniment in Japan’s silent-film age.

This is the last weekend to visit “A Section of Now” at the CCA. Conceived as part of the one-year investigation “Catching Up with Life,” the exhibition looks at today, at the society in which we currently live, with a focus upon expanding notions of family, property ownership, activism, work, technology, and life expectations. How can architecture and urbanism better understand our contemporary conditions, and how might they adapt to better address the challenges these conditions present?

This March, the Canadian Centre for Architecture launched Catching Up With Life, a one-year project exploring architecture’s ability (or lack of) to evolve in dialogue with society. We have been working with the CCA to develop the overall identity of this body of research, and will be rolling this out through a number of initiatives being brought forth by the institution this year, from a new publication and upcoming exhibition, to a series of public lectures, online editorials, podcasts and more. 👪🍃💸💆💥💫 @canadiancentreforarchitecture
