The Yokohama Civic Art Gallery provides exhibition opportunities and public relations support for emerging artists as part of its "U35 Young Artist Support Program."
As an exhibition under this program, we will hold the Heiri Kojima Solo Exhibition "My little house, and your rooms."
[Artist's Message]
I have regarded "fabric" as a material capable of simultaneously embodying and expressing both pain and warmth, and have re-examined the harmony and conflict present within the family.
My graduation work, "My little house," is an attempt to express the complex emotions and relationships within a family without affirming or denying them. By leveraging the power of fabric, I aimed to create a work that allows emotions to be shared with others.
This exhibition will feature textile works, including my graduation piece, as well as video works documenting my experiences in the Philippines, where I confronted my own roots.
