| beyond words: TRANSMEDIATING MURAKAMI HARUKI, newcastle university
In 2018 Jones was invited by Dr Gitte Marianne Hansen of Newcastle University's School of Modern Languages to curate an exhibition as part of her AHRC-funded project "Eyes on Murakami". The project and accompanying conference, workshops and film-sceenings explored aspects of the writing of the Japanese writer Murakami including: gender; literary translation; transmediality; characterisation and contemporary Japanese society. Jones invited 5 artists, including Akiko Fujimoto and Katsutoshi Yuasa from Japan, to make work in response to their choice of a Murakami text. The exhibition was held at Newcastle University in March 2018 with accompanying catalogue.
