This exhibition is a visual commentary by artists and support volunteers who have worked in the stricken area with local people and an illustration of their wish to collaborate and help in the reconstruction efforts.
On display here are the works of the eight Japanese members of the Fukushima Photo Project. One year after the disaster in the Tohoku region these photographers, many of them from the region itself, exhibited in six venues in Aizuwakamatsu and Kitakata in collaboration with the Fukushima Prefectural Museum. The project was a response for the need to find meaning and hope in the confusion and uncertainty in the wake of the terrible events of 3.11. Two years on, some of these works are on display in the Embassy of Japan with new works by the photographers shown concurrently in Minami-Soma in Fukushima.
Photographers: Komatsu Toru, Koshima Yukiko, Ono Yoshimasa, Sudo Akiko, Sugino Mari, Takasugi Noriko, Seto Masato, Uma Kinoshita |
