Event Details:
We’ll gather at Hibiya Park for a relaxed, open-air discussion inspired by Her (2013) — using it as a starting point to explore connection, distance, and what intimacy looks like today.
We’ll talk about questions such as:
- Where does loneliness appear even when we feel “connected”?
- What does intimacy look like when it doesn’t follow traditional forms?
Set in one of Tokyo’s most peaceful central parks, this will be a calm, unhurried space to sit together, share thoughts, and reflect. The setting naturally allows for softer conversation — some moments in a group, others in smaller circles as discussions unfold.
Rather than focusing on the film itself, we’ll use it as a reference point for broader questions around modern relationships, emotional closeness, and the ways we connect in everyday life.
You don’t need to have watched the film recently — or at all — to join. Some people come ready to share, others prefer to listen, and many simply enjoy being part of the atmosphere. All of it is welcome.
