The International Symposium The Art of Kamishibai: The Word of the Image and the Image of the Word took place between 10 and 12 May at the Slovenian Theatre Institute and was organized by the Slovenian Theatre Institute, Zapik Association, and Kamishibai Association of Slovenia in cooperation with the Faculty of Education of University of Primorska, the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television of University of Ljubljana, the Department of Asian Studies at the Faculty of Arts of University of Ljubljana and the Embassy of Japan.
With the online edition of these proceedings and the videos of the symposium, we wish to disseminate the collected findings of the international symposium as broadly as possible, both to build the foundations and to upgrade the knowledge of everyone working with kamishibai. The proceedings were also complemented in mid-2019 with selected scientific articles in a special thematic number of the Amfiteater journal.
