Singapore Art Book Fair
The Singapore Art Book Fair was a truly experimental event, and each day brought a fresh sense of excitement. We were joined by Mami Takahashi as a communicator; thanks to her, everything from introductions to travel went smoothly—and we even received a helping hand from a tiny "new staff member" along the way.
The "My Book ⇄ Something Yours" project by Reina Takabayashi—where visitors exchanged personal items for books—was a great success, and it looks like we’ll be able to create another wonderful SGABF-edition book out of it.

During the radio program, Son Ni from nos books recommended DOOKS as a must-visit booth, and fellow exhibitors took the time to carefully look through our books and share thoughtful feedback. These kinds of rich, meaningful interactions—unique to this fair—made for a truly fulfilling experience. It was an event that prompted me to reflect once again on the significance of creating a space for connection.

SINGAPORE ART BOOK FAIR、実験精神に溢れたフェアで、連日新鮮な気持ちで参加できました。今回はコミュニケーターとして高橋真美さんに参加いただき、おかげさまでスムーズな紹介と安心の渡航を、途中小さな新しいスタッフ?にも助けられました。
イベント来場者の持ち物と本を交換する、「My Book ⇄ Something Yours」高林怜奈さんによるプロジェクトも盛況で、また新しくSGABF版の良い本が出来そうです。
ラジオ企画では、nos booksのSon Niが、おすすめのブースとしてDOOKSを紹介してくれたり、一緒に参加されている方々がじっくりと本を見て良いコメントをくださったりと、今回のフェアならではの贅沢なやり取りが沢山あって、とても充実した良い時間になりました。あらためて場作りについて考えるきっかけにもなったフェアでした。
