 Hello everyone. Greetings from NEMMA. My name is Piazong Ao, Head of Research Department, Jung Jae Knowledge Propagation Society. We work for democracy and disparities of NEMMA through public awareness, research, and advocacy. I'm a medical graduate and chain intracarous social researcher, especially working on local governance and politics. I'm not familiar with art-related research before, but Suez introduced me a kind of research while collaborating among scientists and artists called creative collaboration. At first, I did not believe in the methodology and collaboration. I told myself that why we need such artistic thing in the research, which is based on scientific facts. So, I read a lot about the artistic research and I became to understand the other aspects of human life. We should laugh and explore in the normal scientific study. The artistic combination can give us an opportunity to understand the way people think and act. So, I became a newbie to artistic research. A local partner called Inwa Askoo, conducted us to make a collaborative project between the art team and our research team. And the project name is Building Bridges to Art. And the project is based on the democratic values, tolerance, equality, and inclusiveness. As you all know, Inwa is a country transitioning from authoritarian regime to democracy. Although people want democracies, most of them are not familiar with democratic values and practices amidst such a long-term separation and a military regime. This project aims to make bridges these central democratic values with people of Obama through performances. The project, Building Bridges to Art, first built the bridge between artists and researchers to mutually understand the artworks and research work. I think this part is the most difficult work, collaborative work throughout the project. We are trying to understand each other and make collaborative creations, especially on writing a play to include these democratic values, tolerance, equality, and inclusiveness in the play. And it brought a creative, collaborative product by combining traditional arts, performances of Inwa Askoo, and research of Yongchi, our knowledge propagation society. And the second thing, the project bridges the performance, performance, and democratic values by practicing and performing thematically. The performance became more aware of the democratic values, and this may eventually affect the attitude towards tolerance, equality, and inclusiveness more positively. The project deadly delivered the engagement of audiences with thematically by cross entertaining with traditional performances. Most of the people got the messages given by the play. The creative product of Inwa Askoo by right conversations of entertaining and educating with traditional performances and play brought the different kinds of audiences together and made them engage in democratic values through the play. These kinds of activities should be conducted in the future for strengthening and deepening democracy in Inwa. Moreover, the project fully made bridges between researchers and audience and research participants. The play could add us an antebellum for serving and post-performance discussions by using the data collection process. And by presenting play to them, the audiences are emotioning a rose, and this made the setting of the discussion favorable to discuss things like equality, tolerance, and inclusiveness in relation with their experiences. And let me show our collaborative work with Sam Photos. This photo is at the catching stake. We made the artistic arts performances in catching stakes. And this is another photo for performances. And you can see that in each performance, there are about hundreds or more than that participants are participating in the performances. And you can see different ages from younger children to older people, and both genders are participating in the performances. After the performance, after the Inwa traditional performances, we make a a thematic play, which are showing democratic values. And after that, we make a survey to the participants. In each performances, we collected 50 responses from the audience, and totally, we got 438 participants in the survey. And after collecting the surveys, we make a post-performance discussion mainly on the thematic democratic values. And these produce very meaningful and colorful discussions among youth and different ages of the participants. We make discussions around the thematics of the play, especially on equality, inclusiveness, and tolerance. Due to presenting the thematic play before discussions, I can contact these discussions more easily. This situation creates them to engage in discussions, and they can easily understand that things of the project like tolerance, equalities, and inclusiveness, and they can discuss with their experiences very well. This is my experience on discussions after performance. These are photos on discussions. So you can see that the project bridges through art, bridges between artists and researchers, between performing arts and audiences, and amends citizens about tolerance, equalities, and inclusiveness. But for policy influences, I am not sure to say exactly which policies are embedded by our collaborative work, as our collaborative work is targeted more towards public attitudes upon democracy values. But discussions with MPs, most of them said, cultivating citizens about democracy, with such an artistic way is very effective, especially for rural population, in addition to former education upon democracies. And in addition to these things, it also impacted upon Yongjiya, Yongjiya organization itself. From this collaborative work, we learn importance of humanistic and artistic aspects of research and other works, and we decide to continue to use collaborative creation with creative industries and artists, especially upon communicating people and stakeholders with resource finding. This is the important impact of the creative collaboration between Yongjiya and Inwa Aksu upon building bridges through art. And thank you for your careful lead.
