N.A.R.A Expedition, composed of Awazu, young photographers and other members, held an exhibit titled "Rock Art: Myths and Imagination" at P & P Gallery of the Printing Museum in Tokyo. This exhibit was a culmination of the expedition's 2 year-long information gathering trips and research.
"Rock Art", edited by Kiyoshi Awazu and N.A.R.A Exhibition, was published by Printing Museum/Film Art Publishing Co.
Two separate workshops were held relating to the above exhibit:
1) In "Improvisation of Images and Sounds" (Daikanyana Hillside Plaza in Tokyo), Awazu performed live painting while musician Ayuo Takahashi played improvisational music (Takahashi was the music director for the Rock Art Exhibit.)
2) In "Rock Art Live"(Aoyama CAY in Tokyo), Awazu collaborated with poets and musicians to create exhibition events. |

Also held Kiyoshi Awazu Exhibit at the Aomori Contemporary Art Centre.
