Featured Events in Hirosaki in March, 2025 (July Updated)

How are we born into this world, and what is our purpose in life? In today's world, conflicts and divisions caused by fear of others we do not understand never end, from wars to familiar conflicts. Our actions, such as traveling, meeting different people, and talking to people with different views, are a way to bridge these divisions and make each of us happy, and perhaps this is the meaning of being born into this world. The exhibition will feature works by artists active around the world, including works from the Taguchi Art Collection, one of Japan's leading contemporary art collections, and works from the Hirosaki Brick Warehouse Art Museum. Mika Rottenberg opens the door to another world from a familiar space, Tuan Andrew Nguyen combines disturbing history with the image of a poetic journey, Rock Cafe and Nara give a glimpse into the history of Hirosaki, and there are works by Mari Katayama. Chiharu Shiota, who faces the world through her own body, is also the title of this exhibition, which will feature paintings, photos, videos and talks, including Akira Takayama's projects in the city, and this exhibition attempts to think about expressing life and happiness through various works such as performances.
