Hirosaki Exchange
With this program, various projects in which artists from or related to Hirosaki, and artists who breathe new life into the history and traditional culture of the region, are invited for creation, research, and interaction with the local community. Additionally, various public programs, such as talks, lectures, and workshops are also held. As implied by the word “exchange,” this project creates opportunities for different viewpoints – local and global, creators and community residents and viewers – to intersect, interact, and resonate. With this new approach we aim to bring about a rediscovery of the creative appeal of the region.
#01 HAN Ishu
This time, as the first artist invited for the Hirosaki Exchange program, Han will present a solo exhibition entitled Where my art was born. He looks back over his work thus far and recalls memories of his days in Hirosaki. Here in Hirosaki, the second hometown where he grew up, he spent several months producing new work while re-engaging with various memories and feelings, and the results are scheduled to be exhibited in the 2021 winter program.
