A Message from Tohoku: Lunchtime talk with exhibition

The Japan Foundation hosts a talk by Satoshi Ueda, a young man with a very personal connection to the 3.11 disaster in Tohoku. Although he himself was in Tokyo when the earthquake hit, his hometown of Rikuzen-takata was devastated, and sadly he was to lose his mother that day.

Since the disaster, however,

Ueda has been involved in the project “Tears of the Earth”, and has returned to Rikuzen-takata, taking photos of the survivors, and the places he loves.

This event is organised in association with the Japan Society.

 

Lunchtime talk with photographer: 21 November 2011, 1:00 - 1:40pm

Exhibition: 21-22 November 2011, 10:00am - 5:00pm
