Organised into thematic sections\, \;Kaihō: Japan ese Women Artists after 1945 \;explores the radical yet often ove rlooked contributions of Japanese women artists to the global artistic lan dscape from the post-war period to the turn of the twenty-first century. D rawing on the artists’ personal lives and creative resilience\, the exhi bition brings together works by Shōko Maemoto\, Takako Saito\, Yoshiko Sh imada and Atsuko Tanaka\, among many others – some of which have rarely\ , if ever\, been shown outside of Japan. \;
For this special tour\, Research Associate Yurika Imaseki invites the a udience to see the exhibition anew through a thematic perspective: the col our red. Recurring across many of the works on display\, red invites a ran ge of associations — from the Japanese flag to abstraction\, from blood to the disruptive body. These resonances offer an alternative path through the exhibition\, one that opens questions of nationalism\, play and women 's bodily experience.
Discover the exhibition through the lens of Re search Associate Yurika Imaseki. \; \;
